That was very kitschy and very, very beautiful, Rogier :slightly_smiling_face:

Starting to wonder to we “need” a non-English-language song thread then, because besides your Heideröslein (or what was their name?) and Zwangere Guy I actually don’t know any good acts performing in Dutch resp. flemish e.g. 
 :nerd_face: :thinking: :smiley: :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Aaa, then there is still a world to discover :sunglasses:
 but baby steps, very little people, steps
 next door the bathroom is being demolished and I am without music all day long (headphones longer than 10 minutes don’t work for me)
 I thought a good time to listen to French music here :joy:
Greetings

Nice one Rogier, even if there are some ‘unintelligible’ parts :rofl:

Back to the ‘purists’ Manu Chao (sings in Spanish/ Italian/French & English) but has a whole album in sung only in French. It is gentler than much of his other more ‘energetic’ output, but very beautiful. Siberie m’etait contee

Helno est mort is a dedication to his friend Helno (from the band Les Negresses Vertes) who died from a heroin overdose at the age of 29 :cry:

Here’s a more up-tempo version of J’ai besoin de la lune (originally on Siberie
) :sunglasses:

Aah
 Did I really forget “Senegal Fast Food”? Of course that’s French
brilliant song :slightly_smiling_face:

Let’s travel a bit to the North-East from Senegal to Algeria
and end up here. Probably one of the best known Raï-songs, and for the most part in French

No French for me since High School over 40 years ago so I went for “half & half”


Michael Bublé’s version of La Vie En Rose with CĂ©cile McLorin Salvant, this is a beautiful rendition of the Classic that I first heard back in French class all those years ago (Edith Piaf’s version I think)!!!
Loved listening to many of these songs!!! Thank you everyone for this “French Connection”!!!

I was just here on the radio during ‘radio Tour de France’ singing about the blues, this could have been in at least 3 different topics

She is part of Les EnfoirĂ©s, an annual media event that raises money for Les Restos du CƓur, a food bank and organization that advocates for the homeless. :sunglasses:
