Robert Ziegler 's six-part series exploring the songs of the smoky, often sexy and slightly sleazy world of cabaret
2: Bienvenue. Welcome:
Beginning in the humming modern boulevards and nightclubs of 19th-century Paris - where songs were first used as a means of social and political protest-by 1881 the visionary feat of reconstructing the face (and the underbelly) of the capital is complete. Aristide Bruant fills the Chat Noir with his melancholy ballads, and, by the dawn of the new century, the flavour of cafeconcerts and cabarets has permeated what we think of as the French chanson.
A Heavy Entertainment production
