2.5.2 She was born on December 19, 1915, in Belleville, a satellite town of Paris, which is today the second largest Chinese community in France.

Jane Birkin
2.6 Jane Birkin
2.6.1 Voice
2.6.1.1 Jane Birkin's voice is a thing of beauty. It can be eerie, gentle, and soft, all with a touch of huskiness.
2.6.1.2 Even at 60 years of age, her face is still youthful and her voice is still childlike. She is technically British. But everyone sees her as the classic Frenchwoman.
2.6.1.3 Singing French songs and falling in love with Frenchmen, two of her three daughters are young muses to the French, just like their mother.
2.6.2 Temperament
Jane Birkin, folk icon and actress of the 1960s and 1970s. With her uneven teeth, childish laugh, and uninhibited beauty, she represented the sex symbol of the era: sensual, spontaneous, unfettered, and laissez-faire innocence. The modern woman who wears a suit, puts on regular make-up, and everything is exquisite and meticulous in front of her, can see what is the elf-like spiritual temperament, and what is the plastic-like sculpture of the puppet.
2.6.3 Biography
Jane Birkin is a beautiful woman, born in London in the 1940s but active in French show business for most of her life. She was the wife of the late Serge Gainsbourg, whose influential and controversial song created in the late 1960s (and even banned at one point) was performed by both of them***. In the words of most native French speakers, Jane Birkin is a near-perfect woman. Her sensual appearance, her energy, her passionate performance, and her special sound quality (pronounced with heavy breathing and a heavy British accent in French) make her dynamic and charismatic when she moves her hands.
2.6.4At first glance, her voice doesn't sound too distinctive, but combined with the music, which is a bit of a Middle Eastern mystery, it becomes instantly recognizable. I especially like a track called "She Left Home", where a light piano opens the curtain and then becomes the backdrop for two types of strings, which are dominated by a viola-like tone, with the viola's melodicism and the violin's fierceness working together just right. At some point, the piano disappears and a clean and varied drum sound emerges. Biolay
Henri Salvador

He studied music in Paris and used to perform with Django Reinhardt. He began playing guitar in Paris in earnest in 1935. His music can clearly sense his residence in Brazil.

Keren Ann
2.9 Keren Ann
French chanson balladeer extraordinaire, Keren Ann's music is gorgeous yet minimalist, her beautiful whispers as fragile as crystal glass and as cool as a mountain spring on a wet summer's day, and she was the first to be recognized in France for her debut album "La Biographie De Luka Philipa", which appeared on the label in 2000. La Biographie De Luka Philipsen", Russian literature, Jewish folk music and French poetry are presented in a perfect blend of trip-hop, folk and French pop. The song "Jardin d'Hiver" even surprised Henri Salvador, the 80-year-old originator of the French Bossa Nova school of music. On her subsequent albums, Karen Ann added elements of jazz and blues, chamber pop and French pop, and even drew more from classical music. The title track of her new album, Bow Down Your Head, is a light, soft, French spin
