"Good" Music

Brassens is considered a poet in the french culture...

Anybody unable to appreciate his texts because unable to understand French poetry must stay mute about what he could not understand and  could have none informed intelligent opinion about...

 The troll deep33 stalking me dont think so and as usual, if he dont like something he post insults..

+100, mmhm, I refer to them as the crappers....sitting on the crapper, talking into a .microphone (vocal talent nil as well), thinking he/she’s all that, hiding a complete lack of talent behind ’the message’ apparently (bullsh)....could appeal to the minds of some simpletons, I suppose.

 

these singers tended to put message ahead of music, the latter often consisting of simple acoustic guitar strumming. I doubt Georges Brassens knew more than three chords 

You are right for Brassens who was the poet rapper of my childhood...

Pure  rebellious but amicable simple poetry like Villon in his times...

You are wrong for Barbara whose melody are sometimes beautiful...

You are dead wrong for Ferré whose poetry of Verlaine,Rimbaud,Baudelaire  put in music was almost symphonic...

Ferré studied music and even directed orchestra at Monaco...

I listen to him now for 62 years, he is the only  male singer i listened to...( i adore Louis Armstrong)

I prefer to most popular singing classical, jazz and world music...

I am in love with choral music and lieds...(few operas)

I apologise to correct you. Dont takes it badly i appreciated your posts...

 My best to you ...

Interesting. Reading your post I realize that, with the exception of Barbara, these singers tended to put message ahead of music, the latter often consisting of simple acoustic guitar strumming. I doubt Georges Brassens knew more than three chords 😃 Ok, maybe I exaggerate. A little

This is a French musical genre whose heart is, I think, closer to spoken word and poetry than to musical performance, and there is a lot of writing talent among them.

Barbara was great.

What about Léo Ferré and Barbara ?

Reggiani and Ferrat  with Braessens ?

What about my favorite with Joan Baez Elena Frolova ?

If someone try just for new music try India music...

It is as sophisticated as West music with magnificent rythms...

Or try African music...I recommended Yoruba talking drums...

Also Persia created stunning music...

Turkey too ...

China can be surprising ...

Add to American jazz world jazz...

 I like Fado...

Did you ever listen to this Portuguese guitar and singing tradition?

 I like also a lot Russian musicians  and choral songs...

As reveal my avatar...

Nothing beat an octavist....

These music is very therapeutic... It is like an anti-stress drug with no secondary effects...When we are really down, we need something stronger than "music" a recipe designed by Jonathan Goldman genius (even Bach or Mozart dont work for some very anxiety or panic stress):

 If you are healthy it will be of no use probably because the one minute and few seconds mantra is repeated...

But if you are in distress it will takes between 15 and 25 minutes to put you out the extreme stress state... I used it since 30 years..

Other musics created by Goldman did not compared for the therapeutic effect in my opinion they are more 2relaxing music" but if in a panic attack we need more than relaxing...

Among all music i tried this is the most efficient... The effect exist even after 30 years repetition regularly ...

it is best to hear it on a good sound system because of the subtle frequencies used here ....
