Description:

Fréjol directed the Folies Bergère, another extremely popular place in Paris where many artists became famous. Little is known about Fréjol, so any information about him will be welcome.

This song has one particularity: its rythm is close to Petite Tonkinoise, another very popular song that many artists recorded on cylinder and disc (for example, Charlus and Mayol recorded it for Pathé and Ester Lekain recorded it for Edison).
