French Pop Music of 2022

 

Mentissa : Et Bam


 

Jean-Jacques Goldman--Tournent Les Violons

 

Vianney - La fille du sud


 

Dalida - Gigi L`Amoroso 1975

I discovered Dalida (1933-87) in Montmartre where there is a statue of her. She was French-Italian and born in Egypt of Italian parents. She sang in 9 languages and acted in a few films. Dalida was deeply disturbed by the suicide of her partner, Luigi Tenco, in 1967 but moved ahead with her career. She formed the record label International Show with her brother Orlando, recorded more music and performed at concerts and music competitions. However, she continued to suffer from depression and took her own life on May 3, 1987 Here is a sample of her 1974 hit, which has a decidedly Italian flare to it.
