Record #46: C'est Chic! French Girl Singers of the 1960s

from Adventures in Record Collecting · host Sunny Schomaker

Salut, les copains! I tackle the birth of yéyé pop, a distinctly French phenomenon of the 60s. I talk about cultural chauvinism, disparate influences, and the dominance of female singers in the French music scene, and how that might have been a double-edged sword. I also, despite having decent French language skills, struggle with switching back and forth between English and French within a single sentence. Ah well, c'est la guerre!
