About French chanson
French chanson radio, live from Paris: Édith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Dalida, Jacques Brel and Serge Gainsbourg on Ca Charcute, Wa3's French hour. It goes out in the morning, mostly at the weekend, with detours to Nino Ferrer, Khaled and Amadou & Mariam — free, on the Random channel.
Chanson is French song with the words up front: a voice, a story, and an orchestra or a guitar behind it. Ca Charcute keeps the great names — Édith Piaf's Non, je ne regrette rien, Jacques Brel's Ne me quitte pas, Charles Aznavour's Hier encore, Dalida and Alain Delon's Paroles, paroles — and the sixties of Françoise Hardy, Sheila and Jacqueline Taieb.
It goes out in the morning, mostly at the weekend, and it likes a detour: Claude François's Comme d'habitude, the song that became My Way, Nino Ferrer's Le téléfon, Claude Nougaro, Renaud, Louise Attaque, Khaled's Aïcha, Rachid Taha, Amadou & Mariam, and newer voices like Zaho de Sagazan. Coffee music for a slow weekend morning.
