Here's the 7th volume of my home made best of French music.
In this volume, you'll find some golden gems of the 1930s with some Musette (Tony Murena), Buigine from Martinique, in the French Carribean (Orchestre Antillais d'Alexandre Stellio), and gypsy swing (master Django Reinhardt & Stephan Grapelli).
You'll also find a new wave hit (Taxi Girl), a rap song (underground rap act "ATK"), and a song of the Master Brassens.
For the fans of Yann Tiersen and his Amélie's score, I put a beautiful piece of Eric Satie, who is I think, his main influence. The rest is made up of nice songs of the 90's and the 00's, between chanson, pop and rock, with great and beloved singer-songwriters such as Alain Bashung, Mano Solo, Dominique A, Camille, and bands such as Zebda , Dionysos, la Tordue and Tue -Loup.
At last, an experimental cover of Prokovief'sThe Montagues and the Capulet by Ez3kiel and a punk favorite by Bérurier Noir. Enjoy!

thanks for posting. I've just updated this on my iPod.
I still miss one album which I cannot download. I think because of expiration or something.
hi!
which one is it? I'll try to fix it out.
it's the 4th.
btw, if you have free time, could you collect and post some "slow French songs"; kinda like love songs but not 100% about love, you know. I watched a French movie the other night and the soundtrack was totally awesome. I think it's my 2nd fav French movie besides Amelie =)
The name of that movie is THE SINGER (hope I remember it correctly)
sorry I dont know this movie :-( And are you sure you can't download the 4th? the link is working on my computer! damned.
If you like films like this one, you shall try to watch "les chansons d'amour" (Love songs) of director Christophe Honoré.
thanks. I have what I wanted
Loving this blog, keep it up!
I just listened to this after downloading it a few days ago. Il est fantastique! I can't wait to listen to it again and download the others. Makes me regret not learning the language earlier. Merci! Merci! I'd like to ask: Do you intend the tracks to be listened in the order you listed? They were downloaded and saved on my computer in alphabetical order. Does it matter?
happy that you enjoyed it. I didnt put the tracks in any order. I know it would be better, but my playlist are more some best of, than real LP with clear logic between songs. Maybe for the next one, but its not easy. ;-)
I love that Zebda song it particular. I'm Googling them now to learn more about them.
Salut,
Merci beacoup! Ces disques sont super! J'ai connu plusiers des artistes françaises au travers d'eux... En plus, ils m'aident à apprendre le français, puisque je suis brésilien...

Thanks for acting on my suggestion and adding the dates of the recordings!!! Super! I see you've Volume 6 & 7 already. I'll check out the other volumes soon. On this one you've missed two.
Django (Most likely recorded between 1938 and 1939)
Orchestre Antillais d'Alexandre Stellio

Taylor,
Now, everything is done or almost. Sometimes, its a bit difficult when the tracks are from anthologies from very old records, and if I don't have them near me, and lazy to look deeper on Internet :-)
wow, I really love this. I am downloading all the mixes you put on here.
File not found :/ Possible to up again?
