Some traditional French Quarter music, and dancing in the 'style ancien'!

Very good selection from all contributors above.
Mano Negra - Puta's Fever:
The best real post punk album and especially interesting when considered against Sandinista! which was the first British world music album and the best "rock" album of all time.
That it can very easily claim to be worthy of that comparison is testament in itself.
Absolutely vibrant; always interesting - strands of history and ethnicity throughout.
(it's also cartoony - they get great shapes and colour if you can embrace it)

Thanks GT, but I'm more able to try this wee dance courtesy of Pet and a twirling stick, - no twerking back then - and I'm sure I spotted Slasher Distillery in there in the backing band.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostWith winter coming practising the hip and shoulder rotations shown could serve you in good stead when conditions underfoot are slippy

French outfit Lo'jo have a new record out...they've been around for a while. I like the old-fashioned sound of what I've heard so far.

Charlotte Gainsbourg is back with a new album.
Not especially recommended but probably worthwhile flagging up:

Does Breton count for a French Wednesday? If so here's Yann-Fañch Kemener Trio - 'Dañs fisel'...if not, it doesn't matter 'cos it's still Mardi.

I believe it's apple time and I'm led to believe the French have them too.

Moonrise Kingdom had Francoise Hardy accompanying the action.

Mention of Francoise Hardy reminded me of Mireille Mathieu whom I saw when she appeared in cabaret at the Savoy (60s/70s?).

Brigitte Fontaine - 'le goudron'. Cool and strange French chanson from the late 60s.

After the news this morning, only one place to start for a French Wednesday. R.I.P. Johnny Hallyday - a rather curious French icon.
