French language songs

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

Veronique sanson

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”!!!

French hard Rock from a time long past :innocent:

Let’s keep the music flowing!

Might be somewhat mainstream, but I still really like this song


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
what a stressful choice

Un petit Daniel Balavoine

This one is one of saddest song I ve ever heard because it has a story
Michel Berger is singing with his friend Daniel Balavoine
the title means " a moment of silence " what we do in respect in a funeral
Daniel Balavoine died 2 years later in a helicopter crash 
 33 years old
Berger died a few years later from a heart attack 
 44 years old

They were both major artists in France

I always feels real sad after hearing it

This is my 9 year old granddaughter’s current favourite. She is half French.
