French band Nouvelle Vague rose to fame when they reworked 1980s new wave and punk hits in a bossa nova style on their debut album. Nouvelle Vague is a play on words that means new wave in French and refers to both the 1960s French film movement and the 1980s musical movement that is the source of their repertoire. We can hear the title themes from big 1980s blockbusters like Flashdance, American Gigolo, Rocky III, Scarlet Rain and many others.
