Francosonic presents:

Bonjour, RVA! Bienvenue à Francosonic…

Every Sunday from 7 – 9 a.m. you can hear music with French lyrics – all genres, from all around the world – here on Francosonic.

Today we’ll check out some classic French tunes – jazz, cabaret, samba, and more – whose echoes have been heard throughout other eras. This includes covers and samples you might not expect. We’ll pay a special tribute to Charles Aznavour, the silky-voiced French singer whose tenor was compared to that of Frank Sinatra. Sadly, Aznavour passed away earlier this month and was given special recognition by many French dignitaries at his funeral.

You can read more about Aznavour’s contributions to music and film here.
