French song finds its roots in folk tunes, religious and classical music, as well as hunting calls and military airs dating back to the late Middle Ages. It experienced a true revival in the 19th century with the advent of copyright protection and the introduction of sound recordings. In the 20th century, it developed under the influence of various musical currents such as musette, Latin American and Caribbean music, as well as adaptations of international hits and imports from North American culture, including jazz, blues, and rock.
French songs were initially played in goguettes, cabarets, music halls, and on the streets. Technological advancements like recording and the use of microphones, radio, and cinema quickly ensured its widespread distribution. Today's French variety includes artists from various Francophone regions such as Quebec, Belgium, Switzerland, Africa, etc., featuring musicians like Félix Leclerc, Jacques Brel, or Henri Dès.
