1992 Sylvie Vartan – Vent D’ouest
Vent D’ouest is the 30th studio album by Sylvie Vartan, released in 1992.
Sylvie Vartan (15 August 1944) is an Bulgarian-French singer and actress. She is known as one of the most productive and tough-sounding yé-yé artists. Her performances often featured elaborate show-dance choreography, and she made many appearances on French and Italian TV. With 50 million records and CD’s sold worldwide, 2000 magazine covers (number one French female artist before Bardot and Deneuve) and being the number one French female singer with concerts and audience worldwide, Sylvie Vartan is considered a true icon.
