Description
The playful (or even risqué) song is like the lifeblood of French society. It embodies the most accomplished example of the French “bel esprit,” a tradition dating back to the 16th century. To hint without saying, to amuse without offending—that is a difficult art.
From the 18th century to the Belle Époque, the guitar was the instrument that accompanied these musical romances. Marc Mauillon and Pascal Sanchez reveal an inexhaustible chapter in the history of this repertoire.
