Zaz

In the lengthening history of this blog the bureau chief has never recommended any music until now. Zaz is a young French singer with an amazing strong, rough voice that conjures up memories of Edith Piaf. Madame Le Chef noticed her singing over the tail credits of "Hugo" and tracked down a video of her on YouTube. We have the album and it's really good. It doesn't matter if you don't understand a word of French. This is lively, delightful music.
