For those of you not familiar with french the title says French Music. Here in Canada, I feel we don't appreciate or publisize french music as much as we should. In my french class right now, we're doing presentations on french-speaking music artists and 99% of them so far have only toured in Québec. There are only a couple of french channels on cable television and Much Music, the Canadian MTV, only shows French Kiss (french music videos) at 7am as far as I'm aware. I've also heard that the musical artsit don't get very much money at all. This shows mostly in their music videos. There are a lot of animation or "one set" videos.
All this aside, I've been realizing how good french music really is. There's something that sets it aside from music of other languages, and I'm not talking about the language. I'm not quite sure what it is. There's just this underlying (not sure if that's the right word) tone that corresponds to music of a different language.
When listening to music of a different language you have to be open-minded and patient. It's the same as discovering artists here. You aren't going to not listen to English music (or whatever your native tongue is) just because you can't find someone good. You just have to keep looking. One genre or artist doesn't define that country's music. Keeping that in mind I'll give you a head start and name some artists (most being Canadian) and some of their songs. If you liked this, keep checking this post again because I'll be updating them when I find someone new. Eventually, if the list gets too long I'll have to get rid of the song recommendation.
