Dear Jonathan,
Many thanks for your reply:)
Do you know if the tune is from a traditional song?

Jonathan was quicker than me! Yes, Manau was quite famous for a while with this song and two others. And as for Marly-Gomont, it’s definitly a song to add to the next list!
You can also look at the songs “Je veux”, by ZAZ (jazz manouche); “Le brio”, by Big Soul (du rock); “La Seine”, Vanessa Paradis & M (my son loves this one, and the movie too “Un monstre à Paris”); Kirikou’s song from the movie Kirikou, by Youssou N’Dour.
I will check the songs I’m not familiar with tomorrow, with my kids. Thanks for this very useful post!

I love all the songs above.  I did a lot of chair dancing while listening. Thank you for putting them all together — there are so many & all great!  Looking forward to seeing the results of round 2. 🙂

Ooh, thanks! I will definitely add these to the next list!

It tells a sort of folky tale that mixes traditional Breton folk music and rap. I’ve just looked it up and its by a group called Manau. Other groups such as Merzhin also mix Breton music with mainstream popular styles, although Merzhin combine rock and traditional Breton instruments.

If you want to include some fun novelty raps from France in the next selection, I’ve got a couple of suggestions. In ‘Marly-Gomont’, Kamini raps about being from the only black family in a rural village in Picardie that is hardly a typical backdrop for a rap video. Also, Lil Maaz did a rap called ‘Mange du kebab’ about making kebabs in his Parisian takeaway.

For your next list, how about including Macarena by Los del Rio? Even though it’s in Spanish, I remember hearing it a lot during an exchange trip to Germany in the mid-1990s.
