Sexy, Sultry and beautiful singing - although I still do not understand to much French it sounds so great when it is sung. Think of Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel.
L is Raphaële Lannadère, born in France in 1981. She has studied polyphony Gypsy, Corsican, Bulgarian, gospel and Fado music, all of which have an influence on her style.
In 2002, she chose her stage name, L, and gave her first concert in the basement of a Parisian rotisserie, accompanied by Babx.
She has also sung with the Brazilian Ricardo Tete and Teofilo Chantre.
Her first EP was released in 2008 and her first full LP was released last year.
The album is called Initiale and I recommend you to look out for it.
For a sampling here are three songs that appear on that album.
