Les Enfants du Pays – Douce France



Below is a music video — "Les Enfants du Pays – Douce France" — a faster-paced, multiethnic adaptation of Charles Trenet's old song (with music by Léo Chauliac) posted by niko6907 on youtube. (Outside of France, Trenet is probably best known for the romantic ballad "La Mer," which became Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea.")

I much prefer the new version.

Film personalities featured on the video include Michèle Laroque (who was great as the mother in the 1997 gender-bending comedy-drama Ma vie en rose); pop singer icon-actor Patrick Bruel; and Jamel Debbouze, one of the stars of Rachid Bouchareb's César- and Academy Award-nominated Days of Glory.

 

 

Trenet's rendition of "Douce France" can be found here.
