French Folk Songs

Henriette and Elie Zmirou
French Folk Songs

While on assignment at the UN in New York, French couple Henriette and Elie Zmirou remembered their homeland by singing folk songs. Henriette learned all of hers from her mother, grandmother, and people among whom she lived in Normandy. The lyrics of these unaccompanied solos and duos are translated into English.
