Description
Newly restored in 20196 from an 1890s French advertisement for a Caf�-chantant, a type of musical establishment associated with the belle �poque in France. Although there is much overlap of definition with cabaret, music hall, vaudeville, etc. the caf� chantant was originally an outdoor caf� where small groups of performers performed popular music for the public. The music was generally lighthearted, sometimes risqu�, even bawdy but, as opposed to the cabaret tradition, not particularly political or confrontational.
