Brassens


After leaving the Lang Lang classical music concert at the Cité de la Musique, I noticed the George Brassens exhibit just across the hall in the Music Museum. Brassens, who died in 1981, is considered one of the best known French singers and poets of the 20th century. I enjoyed learning more about the artist, his life, his music, and especially his poetry. You can listen to some of his best known songs on youtube.
