Les Chansons D'Aragon
''Les Chansons d'Aragon'' (English: "''Songs of Aragon''") is an album by Léo Ferré, released in 1961 by Barclay Records. It is his second album dedicated to a poet, after Baudelaire's '' Les Fleurs du mal'' in 1957. Here, Ferré focuses on former surrealist Louis Aragon, but the body of work he chooses (poetry collection '' Le Roman inachevé'', mostly) is not surrealistic. This album had much more impact than Ferré's first Baudelaire effort, maybe because when it was published Ferré was gaining both success and critical acclaim on stage, and Aragon was an active poet and a controversial committed communist figure in the French intellectual field. History Léo Ferré began to set Louis Aragon's poems to music in the fall of 1958Alain Raemackers, album ''La Mauvaise Graine'' booklet, La Mémoire et la Mer, 2006. and completed the task in March 1959.

French-language Albums
French ( or ) is a Romance language of the Indo-European family. It descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire, as did all Romance languages. French evolved from Gallo-Romance, the Latin spoken in Gaul, and more specifically in Northern Gaul. Its closest relatives are the other langues d'oïl—languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French (Francien) largely supplanted. French was also influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul like Gallia Belgica and by the ( Germanic) Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders. Today, owing to France's past overseas expansion, there are numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole. A French-speaking person or nation may be referred to as Francophone in both English and French. French is an official language in 29 countries across multiple continents, most of which are members of the ''Organisation internationale de la Francophonie'' (OI ...
