Lo Còr de la Plana
Submitted by Palmito on January 11, 2008 - 5:18pm.I don't know about you, but when people mention Western European folk music, I am unfortunately quick to judge and assume it's not going to be of my liking. But then I'd never heard Lo Còr de la Plana (links to MySpace....), a group of guys out of Marseilles who sing in the traditional southern French language of "Oc" (from whence "Occitane").
Radio Nova
I came across this at a recommendation of a friend online, and I've been hooked ever since - Radio Nova, a French radio station that also broadcasts online. At first I thought it was a station geared towards France's African diasporic population, because there's a heavy rotation of soul, hip-hop, rnb, etc. And they call themselves "Radio Métisse." But it's in no way recognizable to U.S.
