Carmen Maria Vega: Gypsy Swing

If you like Zaz, you’ll enjoy today’s video. It’s more French Jazz Manouche — this time from Carmen Maria Vega.

Carmen Maria Vega is both the name of the band and its lead singer. Their music is smooth, but Carmen occasionally belts out lines with a bit of Rock attitude — just to remind you that she’s no shy French waif.

Gypsy Jazz has been big in French music this year, and part of that is due to Carmen Maria Vega and their hit, “La Menteuse.” Their quirky video was one of my favorites of 2010. Check it out.
