I am going to be on the radio tonight. “Francomix” is hosted by the fabulous Olivier Marteau, from the south of France. He’s studying here in Lafayette and continuing his radio show on KRVS, our unique public radio station.
Olivier invites a guest each week to come chat and to choose seven songs in French from around the world. I particularly enjoyed the job of assembling seven songs. Unfortunately, a technical glitch of my own doing prevented me from sharing those seven. But no matter! Olivier had his music library with him and it was a simple matter to choose seven more, almost as good, along with a couple of surprises. Who knew that “Travailler c’est trop dur” has an African version, by Alpha Blondy?!
The show is on at midnight tonight (Sunday). Listen tonight at KRVS. If you are not already a member, please consider a contribution to the station. They provide an irreplaceable service to Acadiana, to Cajun music, and to the greater webcast-listening world.
