Damia is a monument in the world of the French 'chanson réaliste', very popular in het first half of the 20th century... Among her biggest hits were "L'étranger", "Sombre dimanche", "La mauvaise prière"...etc.

Here she presents her version of Zarah Leander's monster hit "Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt", recorded in 1939. It is a dramatically different version. Leander's version maintains its exotic tone whereas Damia takes us to a much darker, colder place...

Compare to Zarah Leander - Le vent m'a dit une chanson and judge for yourself!

First and last picture of Damia, others slide show of Zarah Leander.
