Annotation — Peace, Protest, & Anti-War Songs
Chanson artist, born on 2 March 1932 in Périgueux, France.. As the title displays, this was a Vietnam War themed-LP, with 12 songs. The title track "Être mère au Vietnam" ("Being a mother in Vietnam") makes a comparison between mothers in Vietnam, "teaching them to go down in the trenches", and the rest of the world, "teaching children to pick flowers", a startling comparison, highlighting the suffering of those living through an ongoing conflict.
