| Variety, rap and opera 多样化、说唱音乐和歌剧 Other musical styles are rarely of any great interest outside the French-speaking countries - give or take a few exceptions. In the world of chanson as it currently stands, and leaving aside the exception of Quebec singer Céline Dion (whose album D'eux - written almost entirely by Frenchman Jean-Jacques Goldman - became the highest selling French album in the world, with 6 million copies), only Florent Pagny, Mylène Farmer, Francis Cabrel and Patricia Kaas can claim to have had any impact in Europe, as has Anggun, from Indonesia, who sings in French and in English and whose career has rocketed over the past year. Rap, whose entire raison d'être are its lyrics, suffers in the same way from the language barrier. However, its popularity is growing within the French-speaking countries, especially in Africa. Last year IAM picked up gold and platinum discs in Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, as had MC Solaar a few years previously. In 1998, Manau, which performs Celtic rap variety, even went beyond the borders of the French-speaking regions with the album Tribu de Dana, which became popular in Holland and Poland. French rock is largely ignored even if Mano Negra, after a multitude of concerts, has acquired some fame in Latin America and even if young groups such as Autour de Lucie have benefited from some good word-of-mouth propaganda among the US urban set (selling almost 80,000 albums). French jazz unites a more limited - albeit passionate - audience. Since Jean-Luc Ponty, only Michel Petrucciani, who died in January 1999, has made any impact among jazz listeners. The same goes for classical music, where France has few mass audience artists. Richard Clayderman retains a faithful following in Asia and in eastern Europe. But the real revelation of 1998 has to be Emma Shapplin. Carmine meo, the first album by this young diva, picked up gold and platinum discs in thirteen countries (including Argentina, Greece, the Lebanon and New Zealand). Behind this creative impetus, new structures have been set up and organized. The techno sector has given rise to a network of independent labels, most of which achieve three quarters of their sales outside France. Export departments have developed - and not just among the majors. The music industry professionals and the corporate players have also sized up the potential, both cultural and economic, of this international art. * Radio stations are obliged by law to broadcast a minimum of 40% of French-language songs, of which 50% must be new talents or new productions.
