David L. Looseley Popular music in contemporary France

authenticity, politics, debate

In the late 1950s and 1960s a wave of Anglo-American rock 'n' roll and pop hit Europe and disrupted French popular music forever. The cherished sounds of the chanson were sidelined, fragmented or merged with pop styles and instrumentation. From this point on, French music and music culture have splintered into cultural divides: pop culture vs high culture; mass culture vs 'authentic' culture, national culture vs Americanisation. Investigation of the innovative segmentation of the French music scene.
