Nouvelle Chanson featuring Lionel Melka, Barbara Carlotti, and Oshen aka The Frenchies – Biographies

The Nouvelle Chanson movement emerged in France and has grown internationally, as seen with the success of bands such as Nouvelle Vague. The style is difficult to define, drawing heavily on influences such as trip-hop, electronica, chanson, bossa nova, samba and surrealism. Our special focus on some of the emerging stars comes to exclusively to the Big Chill with the support of the French Music Bureau. Pep up you best French and join in for some camaraderie.

Lionel Melka, with insolence, nonchalance, cynicism, irony and bad faith, this charismatic live artist imposes style, humour and sincerity put to music.

Barbara Carlotti, sweet, splenetic insights lurk in every line. Classic and daring, thrilling and perfidious, funny and sophisticated, indifferent and passionate, instinctively anglophile, and desperately French.

Oshen aka The Frenchies has been wooing the chanson movement for the last 7 years. Her twist on songs of the heart, romance and desire will convince you she is a fire cracker.
