French Cafe Music of the Opulent Era (CD) (Remaster)

The Belle Epoque (French for Beautiful Era) refers to the time that began in the late 19th century when the commercial arts adopted Renaissance and eighteenth-century styles to modern forms. By the 1880's, what became known as Bal-musette was performed in the cafes and bars of Paris, introducing modern rhythms such as waltz and polka into traditional music forms and remains popular to the present day. These charming recordings evoke the ambience of a French cafe. Historic recordings, digitally remastered. [Note: This product is an authorized, licensed CD and is manufactured on demand]
