Description
Presented on this 3-CD set are the most representative songs by three of the best male names of French Chanson: Jacques Brel (1929-1978), Georges Brassens (1921-1981), and Serge Gainsbourg (1928-1991).
Chanson Française is a typical style of French music (chanson means "song" in French) and is still very popular in France. Some of the most important artists included Brel, Brassens, Édith Piaf, Juliette Greco, Mireille Mathieu, Gilbert Bécaud, Monique Serf (Barbara), Léo Ferré, Charles Aznavour, Salvatore Adamo and Dalida, plus the more art-house musicians like Brigitte Fontaine. Singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg began as a jazz musician in the 1950s and spanned several eras of French popular music including pop, rock, reggae, new wave, disco and even hip hop.
3-CD set housed in a 10-panel digipak case with 20-page booklet.
