| Christmas is around the corner and so I think i will start looking into some gift ideas. Today, I'm looking into classic French music. There is an endless list of stunning music, but I pick these 4 for you : |
 
CHARLES AZNAVOUR
The poet. |
 
MIREILLE MATHIEU
Forever the darling of France. |
 
HERBERT PAGANI
Just plain genious. |
 
JOHNNY HALLYDAY
French rock with a touch of Elvis. |

THE C CHANNEL REVIEW
I begin with my absolute favourite, Monsieur Charles Aznavour. A grand poet, a romantic, a man who's voice I've been listening to since I was in my teens. Mireille Mathieu is the darling of France and always will be. Although her voice is not as strong as Piaf's, her theatrical tones give her songs that magical touch Piaf never had. Herbert Pagani was a genious. Forget The Pink Floyd. In Pagani's Mesopotania he creates an entire world for the listener that will absolutely have your chin on the floor wondering why this album is close to impossible to find even in a French store. And finally, whether or not you think think Johnny Hallyday looks like a sadder version of Elvis than Elvis himself, we must all agree this man has one of the most incredible voices. A live concert to hear this man's voice is something you will not forget. |

BEBEL GILBERTO
Sounds from Brazil
Bebel has been around for a while but she is still little-known outside of her native Brazil or Portugal. Mixing electronics and Brazil's undeniable rhythms, her soothing voice and calm chimes is the ideal sound to have in the background when you want to relax. |
 
TANTO TEMPO
This was my first Bebel album and I still listen to it almost weekly. |
 
BEBL GILBERTO
Top-rated by listeners worldwide. |

The Amazon review
With the release of her debut Tanto Tempo in 2000, the Brazilian singer Bebel Gilberto and the late DJ Suba redefined the bossa nova sound. Her sophomore effort, produced by Marius de Vries, the soundmeister behind Madonna, Annie Lennox and Bjork, was recorded in Rio, Bahia, London and New York. Gilberto's cool contralto sings sweetly over synths, strings, percussion acoustic piano and horns. Daniel Jobim and Pedro Baby contributed compositions. Caetano Veloso's "Baby" features lyrics by Os Mutantes, and Carlinhos Brown's candomblé-cadenced, "Aganju" swings with a nod to Africa. Bebel's hushed vocals reveal the influences of her father, the legendary Joao Gilberto, and of her mother Miucha on the electro-bossa beats of "Winter." Ditto the ocean-breezed "O Caminho," with jazzy orchestrations and pianisms provided by Joao Donato. This disc aims for the ear rather than the hips, but don't be surprised if future remixes could flip that sonic script. --Eugene Holley, Jr. |
