Chantal Goya

French singer and actress born June 10, 1942 in Saigon (French Indochina).

She started her career during the 60's as a yé-yé girl, singing catchy pop songs. She also enjoyed a career as a French New Wave actress; she had a starring role as Madeleine in the Jean-Luc Godard film "Masculin, Féminin" (1966) and in Jean-Daniel Pollet's "L'Amour C'Est Gai, L'Amour C'Est Triste".
Since 1975, she has become mostly known as a singer for children. Together with her husband, songwriter and composer Jean-Jacques Debout, she does shows with children. The main themes are dreams and traveling. Her usual character is Marie-Rose, a mix between a maid and an older sister (reminiscent of Julie Andrews in both The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins).
