You know what guys? I'm proud of being a french-canadian. I don't think it's better than anything but sometimes when I listen to music from Quebec, I feel proud and happy inside. French or English, it doesn't matter: we have plenty of creative artists that create beautiful music.
Today, I'll show you two french groups I adore (mostly from the 90's and early 2000's) and in the next post I will show you two english singers that I simply cannot live without.
First stop: Les Colocs ! (translation: The Roomates). They were EXTREMELY popular in the 90's but tragically ended with the suicide of the lead singer in 2000. If you're interested, rent the movie Dédé à travers les brumes to learn more about the group. In this clip, they are asking god to give them a job. To make this clip, they employed 30 homeless people for 3 days.
Second Stop: Les Cowboys Fringants! (dashing cowboys) They are still popular now and make more traditional music with a touch of activism against corruption in politics, global warning and greed. In this clip, they deplore how badly the Quebec has fallen since the 70's (when we got you know, free health care, education, national electricity, etc.).
That is it for the french side! If you want more of this, please let me know in the comments: I have PLENTY of french music left to talk about.
Until next time, I love y'all. Stay alive, I know the finals are coming! Go Go Go, you can do it!
Question of the post: Who's your favourite french singer/group ? Do you have a special request for me to talk about?
