French music is a long and varied list.

This article connects to the theme "Culture" by the article talking about what kind of music the French liked or likes. The article says France has a varied history of music. This tells me the taste of music the people of France like and what other countries it resembles. All countries like different, but France and United States has some of the same taste in music. France doesn't just like one type of music. This helped me know what kind of music to have when going to France.
