The French music scene is quite dynamic and seems to hold its own against the tide of US music.  You've no doubt heard of rock legends such as Johnny Haliday but there are many more to discover.  Here are a few of my favourites.

First there's Renaud with his socially engaged music.


Then newer singers such as Chrisophe Mae, who offers a rock/ reggae mix.


And finaly one of my favourites, Grand Corps malade, who writes slams with a social message.
