Et aucun francophone n'échappe à cet héritage touffu, proliférant, inépuisable. Voici pourquoi explorer los angeles chanson française est explorer notre can pay, son âme, sa mémoire et ses passions.
Voici pourquoi explorer l. a. chanson française consiste à rencontrer d'immenses artistes et à ouvrir des coffres à merveilles. Voici pourquoi explorer l. a. chanson française consiste aussi à ne pas toujours comprendre les mystères du succès et de l. a. postérité.
Ce Dictionnaire amoureux de los angeles chanson française évoque donc Brassens, Gainsbourg, Barbara, Souchon, Piaf, Brel, Bashung, Gréco ou Delerm, mais aussi l. a. censure, les yé-yé, Paris, l'oubli ou le bon vieux temps. Une traversée hédoniste, mélancolique, gourmande et parfois polémique pour saisir d'un même regard les grands maîtres et les petits génies, les légendes chéries et les vérités contestées, les monuments historiques et les splendeurs ignorées."
