Description

Included with the CD is an artists & tracks 12 page information booklet.

The extraordinary richness of the chanson between the 1920s and the 1950s was no accident. The carnage of the 1914-18 war had changed the social fabric of France forever and the advent of the cinema, the gramophone and, later, radio drastically altered the nature of entertainment. Suddenly the tired music-hall traditions of the Paris cafe-concert were being revitalized by dynamic outside influences.

La vie Parisienne features the greatest French stars of the 1930s & 40s. Immerse yourself in the extraordinary richness of the chanson between the 1920s and the 1950s through the compelling talents of many French singers. Enjoy!
