Can anyone recommend some good French music? |
I'm actually trying to find music to play for my French club to attract people to join. I would like music that is either very traditional french music like edith piaf, or more prefferably, some contemporary french pop/rock/lounge/jazz that is easy listening (that most people will like) Check out a band called Paris Combo. Also a new singer named Jessica Fichot. La Marseillaise (sung by Ben Heppner), Among the great French singers: Jean Ferrat, Jean Ferr茅, Barbara, Jacques Brel (from Belgium), Charles Trenet, Fran莽oise Hardy, Yves Montant. If you are looking for younger artists: Jean-Jacques Goldman, Julien Clerc, Renaud, Yves Duteuil, Francis Cabrel... LOL.........most of the songs in French are American or British. For 60's soft pop French style I highly recommend-Serge Gainsbourg; Francoise Hardy; France Gall. Les Nubians Check out Django Reinhardt. He is a gypsy jazz guitarist that grew up outside of Paris. He formed The Quintet of the Hot Club of France a group with French jazz violin legend St茅phane Grappelli. Just google him and that should get you started if you like the music. You can here many samples on Amazon. |
