French Chanson is a rich musical genre You do not need to understand French to enjoy the music. In this Series we continue our exploration of new artists and we revisit those who already have made their mark and who continue to charm us.

French Language Popular Music is created mostly in France, Canada, Belgium and Switzerland, but it is enjoyed the world over. It is immensely popular in Asia.

We'll tell you about the artists and songs in English. Let yourself be carried away!
