VA - France The Greatest Songs Ever

Long considered an important European cultural centre, France is home to an incredible variety of music that includes indigenous folk, classical, disco, rock, hip hop, techno-funk, punk, pop and African, Latin American and Asian rhythms. Since the rise of popular music in the 20th century, when superstars such as Edith Piaf, Monique Serf and Georges Brassens came to the fore, French musicians have been wildly experimental and diverse. Art-house legends such as Brigitte Fontaine, diva Mylene Farmer, sex symbols Juliette Grecco and Jane Birkin and singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg inspired jazz, pop, new wave, reggae and rock performers to push boundaries and have fun in the process. The waves of French music continue to challenge and intrigue while always holding true to the essence of a unique and fiercely patriotic nation.
