Musique de la Légion étrangère专辑介绍：Debut international album from the Band and Choir of the French Foreign Legion, one of the world’s most famous military bands. Its members – 100 musicians, themselves active soldiers – from over 30 countries, and from all four corners of the globe. Crafted by award-winning and multi-million-selling producer Jon Cohen, the album features new arrangements of La Marseillaise (with guest artist Roberto Alagna), the Legion’s official march Le Boudin, Hello Le Soleil Brille (Colonel Bogey March) and classic war-time favourites like Je ne regrette rien and many more Formed in 1831 by King Louis-Philippe, the French Foreign Legion is one of the world’s most famous fighting forces. Acclaimed for its strong military skills and ‘esprit de corps’, the Legion today fights and protects alongside armies from around the world. The Legion’s band is unique in several ways, notably for its slower, 88 paces-per-minute march tempo (as opposed to the regular 120), giving their music a solemn, majestic power. With their distinctive drum hold – their instruments carried lower than drummers in other bands – and of course their signature white kepi hats, the Band of the French Foreign Legion marches proudly at the head of the troops in march-pasts, just as once it sounded the charge on the battlefield.
