We continue our exploration of French Language Popular Music with songs from yesterday and today. Through the English commentary you'll learn about the artists and what the songs are about. Pour yourself a glass of good wine and enjoy the beautiful voices and melodies.

Through French Chanson we get a unique insight in how Francophone people live, how they love and what is important to them. Songs are particularly revealing because inhibitions are cast away and we get to see the real persons. In this, the 23rd Series of "Bonjour Chansons", we continue the exploration of the genre. Songs from yesterday and songs from today. Enjoy the riches of this genre, feel the emotions, enjoy the beautiful voices and melodies.
