Allez, allez, allez, Il faut danser!



This is the video for the current number one song in France. It is also the official song for the French World Cup team. The artist, Jessy Matador, was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and now lives in France. I put the youtube link on here so you can hear what some of the popular music from France is like. Check out the video and then go to Billboard's site: http://www.billboard.com/charts/france-songs#/charts/france-songs and take a look at the top ten songs for the week of June 19th. What do you notice about some of the songs (hint: 2, 4, & 7)? Why do you think that they are on there? Feel free to youtube some of the other songs on the top ten to get a better feel for la musique française!

  1. They are all about being active and dancing! Its seems to be a lot of clubbing music and get up and get going type beats. Works perfectly for the team too!

  2. I loved that song even though I have no idea what they were saying! One question....why did they have an American flag on the boat?
