Various - Zic De Zinc

Review by Rafael Nieves

The album Zic De Zinc by Various is a delightful compilation of French chanson, jazz, swing and pop music. The album is a tribute to the vibrant and eclectic music scene of Paris in the 1930s and 40s. The artists on the album are a mix of established and up-and-coming musicians, each bringing their unique style and interpretation to the songs.

The album opens with the lively and upbeat track "C'est si bon" by Yves Montand, a classic French song that has been covered by many artists over the years. The album also features the sultry and sensual voice of Edith Piaf on tracks like "La Vie en Rose" and "Non, je ne regrette rien". Other notable tracks on the album include "J'attendrai" by Rina Ketty, "La Mer" by Charles Trenet and "Les Feuilles Mortes" by Yves Montand.

The arrangements on the album are well-crafted and complement the vocals perfectly. The use of instruments such as accordion, trumpet, saxophone and piano adds to the authenticity of the music and transports the listener to a bygone era. The album is a perfect addition to any music lover's collection, especially those who appreciate the timeless beauty of French music.

Zic De Zinc by Various is a must-listen for anyone who loves French music or wants to experience the magic of Paris in the 1930s and 40s. The album showcases some of the greatest artists of the time and is a testament to the enduring appeal of this genre of music. Highly recommended!
