About Me

Nouvelle Vague are a French musical collective put together by
arrangers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Their name is a play on words referring
simultaneously to their "Frenchness" and "artiness" (the '60s new wave of cult
French cinema) and their use of '60s Bossa nova-style arrangements (bossa nova meaning
"new wave" or "new beat" in Portuguese).::Discography:: Nouvelle Vague (Peacefrog, 2004)
