Les Chansons d'Aragon (English: "Songs of Aragon") is an album by Léo Ferré, released in 1961 by Barclay Records.
This album had much more impact than Ferré's first Baudelaire effort, maybe because when it was published Ferré was gaining both success and critical acclaim on stage, and Aragon was an active poet and a controversial committed communist figure in the French intellectual field.
Léo Ferré began to set Louis Aragon's poems to music in the fall of 1958[1] and completed the task in March 1959.
Les Chansons d'Aragon was finally recorded in January 1961 and released in February 1961.
This album is a landmark and is considered as an evergreen classic of the French song repertoire.
