Music collectors

Ron and I have been on a quest to discover some genuinely home-grown French music, it's harder to find that you'd think. While France is renowned for its writers, chefs, philosophers, painters, dancers, film-makers, photographers, fashion designers etc. the French contribution to the music industry has been somewhat less forthcoming, at least to newbs like us. We've been asking everyone we meet for their recommendations, so many thanks to Adéline, Sonia, Isabelle, Guillaume/Benjamin, my Tuesday morning 3rd year pupils and all the others who have so far contributed to our francophone music collection.

Among some of the artists who we've discovered so far are the following:
Archimède, Cali, Camille, Christophe Maé, Coeur de Pirate, Corneille, Edith Piaf, Fatal Bazooka, Gérald de Palmas, Grégoire, Grégory Lamarchal, Guillaume Grand, Indochine, Irma, Jacques Brel, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Jenifer, La Rue Kétanou, Les Ogres de Barback, Louise Attaque, Malajube, Maurane, Max Boublil, Mes Souliers Sont Rouges, Mika, Noir Désir, Olivia Ruiz, Rose, Saez, Soha, Sexion d'Assaut, Stromae, Yann Tiersen, Zaz, Zaho...

Any further additions are, of course, more that welcome :)

So far our favourite is Zaz. Here's the song most likely to be being played in our flat at the moment:
