Brown University professor and frequent Marfa visitor Herve Vanel marks Bastille Day (yesterday, June July 14) with an hour of French music this morning. It's a reprise of a guest DJ appearance Vanel makes almost every summer.
A few year's back, NPR Music took their own tour of French music on Bastille Day, but Vanel's playlist is more personal than official.
