Welcome to French Sounds, an exploration in French music.
Alliance Française de Brisbane will introduce you to some of the best and brightest artists in contemporary French music, and prove you that there is more to French music that just the accordion!
This first show’s theme is “Mise en bouche”, which translates to “small appetizers”, so bon appétit!

Our last video is from the very interesting group SLANG, coming from Brussels! They are a trio which describes itself as "Ethno-Coltranian-Rock" with each member bringing their musical ideas and background to the group. This produces a mixture of jazz, funk, world music and rock. Let's watch their video: "Make it Happen", from their Album: "Its on the Way" which was released in 2005.
Watch "Make it happen" |
We hope you enjoyed these appetizers!
Our next 5 programs will focus on particular aspects of French music, Rock, Jazz, and Hip Hop...
Don't miss our next show which will be devoted to female French artists - from rock to lounge.
See you next time, Au revoir!
