Francis Cabrel?:rolleyes:

Francis Cabrel?:rolleyes:

Yeah, we already talk about him :kiss:

 

My favorite song by him (no It's not 'Petite Marie') but La Corrida (protest song against the 'sport' corrida. He sings from the POV of the bull....It's heartbreaking :cry: )

I had to google it to find out if you were making one of your famous word games or if it was a real song :laugh3: I didn't know this one, I'm not a Cabrel expert, I'v only got the live 'best-of'...

I know that one too! I played it at somebody's wedding.:smug:

^Really? :) That's awesome! How come you play French songs to weddings (that I assume are british)?

Indochine are awesome of course... :)

One artist I have really been enjoying this summer is Marie-Pierre Arthur. Her album is nothing short of spectacular.

 

Another great band from Quebec is Karkwa. Patrick Watson worked with them and you can definitely hear it.

 

The song "Marie tu pleures" from Karkwa sounds really good. I'm gonna listen more from that band right now!

Thanks

No worries. Their album was short listed for the Polaris Music Prize, a pretty big deal here in Canada!

I listened Karkwa since thursday and it's one of the best band singing in french that I heard for a long time. I'm surprised that they're not better known in France. I should listen more canadian music.

I like some québécois music, which I guess sort of counts. I like Le Vent du Nord and Ad Vielle Que Pourra. They're both traditional music, but very good. Here's one song by Le Vent du Nord which I uploaded myself. :D

I love this song

and I watched La Vie En Rose recently and I love Non Je Ne Regrette Rien. Plus it was in inception and I like how the composer put it in his own work

I completely agree that Aux Champs Elysées is utterly infectious.

 

Have you heard Et Si Tu N'Existais Pas, also by Joe Dassin? I like that one too.

It really is!

I haven't heard this song, but thank you! I heard Champs Elysées from the movie Darjeeling Limited.

Well I hope you enjoy. :)

 

Another one I really like is the Original French Concept album for Les Misérables. I particularly love Donnez, Donnez, the early conception of the song Look Down (and I think it's called Bonjour Paris on the 1991 Paris Revival recording, but I'm not positive since I don't own this one. I'm going by Wikipedia here). Anyways, here's a video thanks to some person on Youtube.

Enjoy.

One of the best french artist EVER. I wish he'd be still alive. I love him so much

Its awesome these guys went on to win the Polaris Prize, a major Canadian music award.

They deserve it.

I dreamed about this thread last night.

 

I also dreamed that Justin Bieber got hit by a car and then we called 911 and he died because the people who came didn't believe he was Justin Bieber because when they made him sing to prove it it came out all bad. :thinking: /pointless post
