cd - Georges Brassens
Georges Brassens was a French singer, songwriter, and poet known for his elegant songs featuring harmonically complex music for voice and guitar, along with articulate and diverse lyrics. He is considered one of France's most accomplished postwar poets. Throughout his career, he sold over 20 million records. Some of his most famous songs include "La Mauvaise Réputation," "Les Amoureux des bancs publics," and "Les Sabots d'Hélène." Brassens often set to music poems by both well-known and relatively obscure poets, including Louis Aragon and Victor Hugo. His music is characterized by a blend of folk, chanson, and acoustic elements.
