Yelle Will Make You Dance

Yelle’s French electro-pop translates well across borders because it’s all about making you dance – there are no language skills required for that.

Suarez Is the Vampire Weekend of French Pop

Lovely French Pop music from the French band Suarez is today’s feature.

Suarez makes me think of Vampire Weekend, because their inspiration comes from eclectic sources. First of all, this acoustic pop band is an unlikely combination of a Belgian musician, Marc Pinilla, and three folk musicians from Madagascar (brothers Max and Pata Randriamanjava, and their cousin Dada Ravalison.) As if that weren’t unique enough, what they play is a distinctive melange of Malagasy music, British Pop, Cape Verdean folk, and French Chanson. Whew!
