Nouvelle Chanson Francaise

Nouvelle Chanson Francaise (New French Song) is a genre of French popular music that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its poetic lyrics, often dealing with social and political issues, and its use of traditional French folk music styles such as chanson and musette. It is often seen as a reaction against the more commercial French pop music of the time. Artists associated with the genre include Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, and Serge Gainsbourg.
