A French band called Indochine was extremely popular in South America in the mid-80's when I lived there. They were pretty sh**-hot, actually. Had a couple of memorable tracks: "L'Aventurier", "Canary Bay", "Dizzidence Politik", "Salombo", "L'Opportuniste", and "Troisieme Sexe" Even had a nice live album- Live from the Zenith '86, I think it was called.
Would love to get my hands on some of their other material- they were really good.
Then, a French-Canadian bud of mine from HS gave me a tape once that had a song called "C'est comme ca"- pretty cool tune, but I don't know for the life of me who actually sang it.
Indochine, though...if you know them or can get/download some of their music, check them out- aside from the fact that I have no damn idea what they're singing, the music's quite good.
