Qu\u00e9bec Chanson & Francophone Pop\/Rock<\/b><\/h2>\n

This category clearly reaches the furthest into Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s history of popular music. Beginning in the 1920s, Madame Edouard Bolduc (or more commonly known as \u201cLa Bolduc\u201d) began performing and recording folk tunes that quickly swept across the province. She sings and plays either the violin or the guimbarde<\/i>, a mouth-harp common in traditional Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois musical traditions. One traditional trademark you\u2019ll hear in many of her songs is the rhythmic vocal improvisation of vocables (or \u201cnonsense-syllables\u201d) known as turlutage<\/i>, often during the refrains, a feature such contemporary hip-hop groups as Loco Locass continue to employ these days. Though stemming from her roots in French-Canadian and Irish folk music, she is often recognized as one of the first singer\/songwriters of Qu\u00e9bec, and the first musician to begin fusing these styles with French and American popular music.<\/p>\n

The most renowned Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois folk singer\/songwriter is F\u00e9lix Leclerc, whose lengthy career lasted from the 1950s-80s, and who is also well known for his poetry and nationalist political activism. Check out his Youtube clip entitled \u201cTon Visage\u201d to gain a sense of his powerful and passionate voice. The Quiet Revolution (or Revolution Tranquille<\/i>) marked the 1960s-70s in Qu\u00e9bec, a time when the government was radically secularized and nationalized on behalf of francophone Qu\u00e9becers, and when the sovereignty-supporting Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois was elected as the ruling government party in 1976. Nationalism and political songwriting were important aspects that unified popular support during the era of the revolution. For example, watch the Youtube clip of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s National song and read along with the lyrics written and sung by Gilles Vigneault, a renowned political songwriter of the time. A couple other videos from the same period include Ginette Reno\u2019s \u201cUn peu plus haut, un peu plus loin\u201d (A little higher, a little further\u201d, and Robert Charlebois\u2019 \u201cJe reviendrai \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al.\u201d A few of the more popular artists\/groups that captured and supported these spirits include Beau Dommage, Harmonium, and Richard Desjardins. Check out their respective music videos, which are only a few samples of all their accessible material on Youtube.<\/p>\n

For the past twenty years, francophone Pop-Rock has taken over the popular music scene in Qu\u00e9bec. Check out some of Celine Dion\u2019s videos (since she did, after all, begin her career in French). Other highly recommended contemporary artists to look up include: Mara Tremblay, Garou, Isabelle Boulay, and Eric Lapointe.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a>Neo-Traditional Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois<\/b><\/h2>\n

With a long and deep history of traditional French-Canadian folk music in Qu\u00e9bec (which you can learn about through the Canadian Traditional Music Collection<\/a>), there are many groups that retain traditional elements (songs\/melodies, instrumentation, turlutage<\/i>, foot-tapping while seated or podorythmie<\/i>, reel folk dance tunes, etc.) to celebrate their Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois heritage and prevent them from going extinct. Listen to La Bottine Souriante\u2019s \u201cLa montagne du loup\u201d (the mountain of the wolf) to hear the guimbarde<\/i> (mouth-harp) playing to the rhythm of podorythmie<\/i>, call-and-response singing, and the reel-dancing instrumental section. Mes A\u00efeux (My Ancestors) is also a leading group of this movement; check out the link to their music video, \u201cD\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9ration,\u201d which has English subtitles so you can understand the song\u2019s emphasis on Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois culture and a critique of losing traditional values to modernization (and practice your French comprehension!).<\/p>\n

In addition, there are several groups that combine some of these elements with more contemporary popular music elements. The Cowboys Fringants (the well-dressed cowboys) are one of the most popular groups in Qu\u00e9bec (who even tour frequently in France), so look up \u201cLes \u00c9toiles Filantes\u201d (The Shooting Stars), or \u201cPlus Rien\u201d (Nothing More) to hear their more alternative pop-rock style. For a neo-Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois sound more heavily influenced by folk-rock, check out \u201cLa Voisine\u201d (The Neighbor) by La Vol\u00e9e de Castor (a flock of beavers \u2013 a national animal of Canada) or the energetic bluesy folk of \u201cCauchemar\u201d (Nightmare) by Mauvais Sort (Bad Spell).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a>Hip-Hop \/ R&B
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois hip-hop group to put Montr\u00e9al on the map was Dubmatique in 1998 with their release of La Force de Comprendre<\/i>, which mixed smooth jazzy samples with verses in French and R&B-influenced refrains often sung in English. Click on the link for \u201cSoul Pleurer\u201d (Crying Soul), one of their first big hits. The two emcees (OTMC and Disoul) were originally from Senegal, but came to Qu\u00e9bec in the early 1990s. There was a strong push for francophone immigration at the time because the Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois was trying to strengthen the French-speaking population in hopes that the immigrant population would partake in the vote for secession from Canada. The vote for secession lost by merely one percent. In any case, hip-hop became an important means of broadcasting the voices of minorities that were otherwise overshadowed by efforts to keep native French-Canadian culture alive in Canada. It also acted \u2013 and continues to act \u2013 as a playing field for French-Canadian youth (outside Montr\u00e9al) and youth with immigrant origins (in Montr\u00e9al) to become acquainted with one another. The first group to break through national boundaries of popularity, and strongly impact Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s hip-hop scene was undoubtedly Muzion, a group of three emcees \u2013 all with Haitian origins. Look up their breakthrough song\/video entitled \u201cLa Vi Ti Neg\u201d (include Wyclef).<\/p>\n

In the year 2000, the lyrically masterful and politically charged Qu\u00e9bec hip-hop group Loco Locass put out their first album Manifestif<\/i>, and has since become one of the most popular groups in Qu\u00e9bec. To get an idea of how quick and clever their lyrics are, watch \u201cGroove Grave\u201d where you can read along with the lyrics, and also hear some of the same turlutage<\/i> la Bolduc used in the 1920s. More recently, they collaborated with Samian, the premier First Nations emcee to gain recognition in Qu\u00e9bec, who raps in French as well as his native tongue, Algonquin. For an interesting combination of Qu\u00e9bec folk music and culture fused with hip-hop, check out Anodajay\u2019s clip \u201cLe Beat \u00e0 Ti-Bi.\u201d For a glance at some of the multi-linguistic hip-hop that is going on in Qu\u00e9bec, look up Nomadic Massive\u2019s \u201cSpirit Shake\u201d where they rap in English, French, and Spanish. Lastly, for a dose of some smooth Francophone R&B, check out \u201cPardonne Moi\u201d by Gage, and \u201cParce qu\u2019on vient de loin\u201d (Because we come from far away) by Corneille.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a>Indie-Rock \/ Alternative \/ Other<\/b><\/h2>\n

By far the largest and most diverse category, Montr\u00e9al is an epicenter in Canada for its Indie-Rock\/Alternative music scene. The hugely successful groups Arcade Fire and The Stills are two clear examples of Montreal\u2019s Anglophone rock\/alternative popularity, but there are many excellent francophone groups that receive a great deal of attention in the francophone world. One of the most popular Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois singer\/songwriters of the past twenty-five years is Jean Leloup (also known as Jean Leclerc. Two of his classic songs listed are \u201cI Lost My Baby\u201d and \u201cJe joue de la guitare\u201d (I play the guitar), which you can find below. Arianne Moffat is another indie-rock singer\/songwriter whose has become well renowned in France as well as Qu\u00e9bec. Check out her music video entitled \u201cR\u00e9verb\u00e8re\u201d (Streetlamp).<\/p>\n

Dare to Care Records is a popular independent Indie-Rock label based in Montr\u00e9al that signs many popular francophone Indie groups, many of which are mentioned on this site (and whose CDs we\u2019ll receive soon at the UW libraries). Some of the groups include: the creative, lighthearted music of Avec Pas d\u2019Casque; the soothing, endearing piano\/vocals of Coeur de Pirate; the up-beat rocking tunes of Malajube; the rock-electronica fusion of Pawa Up First; the sweet, jovial indie-style of Tricot Machine, and the hard-rocking rhythms of We Are Wolves. A couple more cool upbeat videos to check out are Karkwa\u2019s \u201cEchapper au Sort\u201d (Escape a Spell) and Damian Robitaille\u2019s \u201cJe Tombe\u201d (I fall).<\/p>\n

In addition to its Alternative rock scene, Montr\u00e9al is well recognized for its electronic music scene. Amon Tobin is an international star (originally from Brazil) based in Montr\u00e9al since 2002. His videos \u201c4 Ton Mantis\u201d and \u201cKeep Your Distance\u201d will introduce you to this creative and abstract world of electronic music. Bran Van 3000 is a Montr\u00e9al-based electronic collective that collaborates with a variety of artists, such as Curtis Mayfield in the video below entitled \u201cAstounded.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a>Latin and Caribbean<\/b><\/h2>\n

While there are many Latin-influenced bands and a strong Haitian population in Montr\u00e9al that produces many bands (such as the hip-hop group Muzion), Lhasa de Sela is without-a-doubt the most noteworthy singer\/songwriter. She was born and brought up in Mexico and the United States, but has been based in Montr\u00e9al since the early 1990s, and became a huge success in Qu\u00e9bec and abroad in 1998 with her premier album La Llorona<\/i>, where she sings only in Spanish. Her second album in 2003, The Living Road<\/i>, was even a bigger hit that brought her recognition throughout North America and Europe, in which she sings in French, Spanish, and English. She has a magnificently tender voice and her fusion of Mexican and popular music is delicate and carefully executed. Check out \u201cCon Toda Palabra\u201d and \u201cDe Cara \u00e0 la Pared\u201d to get a taste of her beautiful music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a>African and Maghreb<\/b><\/h2>\n

Though lacking in actual Youtube videos and Myspace profiles, there are indeed large African and Maghreb (North African) populations in Montr\u00e9al that are well represented during the summer music festivals, particularly the Festival International Nuits d\u2019Afrique. One of the more popular vocalists is Lynda Thalie, who makes a pleasant fusion of folk-rock and her Algerian origins of Maghreb rhythms, instruments, and vocal inflections. Check out her video \u201cEn Equilibre\u201d (In Balance). One of the masterful oud (the 11-stringed Arab lute) players in Montr\u00e9al is Hassan El Hadi, originally from Morocco. Although the clip is far from top-quality, check out this excerpt of his interesting fusion between Andalusian Moroccan music and French-Canadian folk music. The Youtube clip is entitled \u201cIn Montr\u00e9al 2007.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
