So I've been studying French for a while, but what really sparked my interest in the beginning was the music. Of course I love music anyways, so I took an interest in French music from the start, and it has really helped with my accent, vocabulary, comprehension...I guess in everyway! I owe a lot of it to my high school teachers, who introduced me to many of the artists I listen to today. I've already brought up Gerald De Palmas, a very popular artist over here. His new CD (which we have all waited 5 years for) is out next week, and it's great to actually be here while these things are happening. As I've said, I'm going to his concert on Wed night, and I'm very excited. It's really special for me, not just because I don't have many chances to do this, but really that is where I began with this language. It all started back in those French classes, where I started to listen and appreciate De Palmas, and now it all comes together Wed night.
There is also Benabar, who Keith and I will see on the 19th in Nantes, another artist introduced to me in high school. It is really great that we are able to see popular singers here, it should be amazing.
Another current singer is Renan Luce, who just happens to be coming to Angers on my last night here before heading to Paris for a day and going back to the US. So we might have to do that one.
All in all, I am really looking forward to these concerts and I know that they will be unforgettable experiences on many different levels.
