France has always beckoned to itself with its mystery, the air saturated with romance, the sights that keep in mind the course of history, the narrow streets where you want to walk in an embrace, delicious delicacies and, of course, music ... French singers have a special charm. Imagine you wake up in the morning, stretch out, look out the window and see the Eiffel Tower, go for breakfast with the most delicate croissants, and the background is music, for example, Eminem. What a dissonance, isn't it? And if Edith Piaf or Patricia Kaas? Then there will be complete harmony and immersion in the atmosphere ...
They are special, French singers. Their list is long, but we will dwell on the most-most. These are Milen Farmer, Alize, Patricia Kaas, Mireille Mathieu, Edith Piaf,
Vanessa Paradis and the new modern talent - Zaz.
Edith Piaf, the famous “sparrow”, was born in Paris in 1915. Her childhood passed with her grandmother, who kept a brothel. Therefore, her father soon took her from there, and they began to perform together in the streets. Edith was a very painful child, which affected her appearance - small, thin, even fragile, like a bird, for which she was nicknamed a little sparrow. Nevertheless, luck smiled at her, the girl’s talent was noticed, and she began to perform on stage. Of her songs are very famous: “You don’t hear”, “She lived on Pigalle street”, “Milord”, “Pennant for the legion”.
No French singers are loved in Russia like the inimitable
Patricia Kaas. She was born in 1966 in the town of Forbach, on the border of France and Germany. Her most famous song, Mademoiselle sings the blues, has been sung by the whole world for many years. Recently, Patricia is often noticed in participating in promotions and in collaboration with Russian musicians. For example, she remarkably sang a duet with the group “Umaturman”, the song “You Will Not Call,” where a part of the text is performed in Russian.
Wonderful Frenchwoman with a childishly gentle voice - Vanessa Paradis in the modern world is better known as the wife, and now the ex-wife of the famous American film actor Johnny Depp. She became famous as a singer when, at the age of fifteen, she sang the hit penny "Taxi" by composer Frank Langolf. They have two children with Johnny Depp, but, unfortunately, this did not help them maintain a relationship.
And what about modern French singers? Of course, immediately comes to mind Isabelle Geoffrey, acting under the pseudonym Zaz. She has an excellent and diverse musical education and extensive experience in performing in different styles. In Paris, she sang in the squares and streets, and became famous thanks to her husky voice and the songs “I want” and “Passers-by”, which became hits. Zaz is often compared to Edith Piaf.
France is one of the few countries in the world where music is part of the lifestyle, part of the atmosphere. The French language itself has such a singing - languid, bewitching, deep, regardless of the rhythm of the music. And the hoarse voice of the singers here is just what we need, it attracts, beckons, like the magic of water in the Seine, and makes you listen and listen ... And feel Paris getting closer.
