Introduction
We all know that music has changed a lot over the last century. One of the greatest changes happened mostly in North America due to the modernizing society. Europe is very different to North America, and not only in music, but also how people live, their culture, past, etc. Most of the music our days in North America is basically rap, or rock. In Latin countries such as France, people keep listening to old songs, sang by long gone, truly talented singers. The reasons for that may be that they want to remember their childhood, or their teenager life, hoping that they will share with their children just a little bit from their past.
