A Montr\u00e9al fountain Cody rode past daily on his way to Universit\u00e9 Montr\u00e9al.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The white iris flowers layered the crowd of waving Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois flags like a wild field on a windy summer night; the flowers symbolize purity, French Canadian history, and Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s deeply embedded roots in the Catholic Church. It was June 24th, the date of my arrival in Montr\u00e9al and more popularly known as St. Jean Baptiste or la F\u00eate Nationale du Qu\u00e9bec. I arrived at my friend\u2019s apartment to briefly unload my luggage before borrowing a bike to ride down to the Park Maisonneuve\u2014dedicated to the French military officer who founded Montr\u00e9al in the mid-17th century. I arrived to a massive crowd draped in Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s national colors of blue and white. There were so many flags waving that walking through the crowd was like an obstacle course; I was even whacked in the face by one while trying to approach the stage! Numerous Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois popular music groups performed to an enthusiastic crowd that recited the lyrics song-after-song.<\/p>\n

The concert on St. Jean Baptiste was an excellent introduction to the national sentiments and phenomenal support for the arts I would encounter countless times during my two-month stay in Montr\u00e9al. As evident in the continual music festivals including le Festival du Jazz, le Festival Internationale Nuits d\u2019Afrique, and le Francopholie (just to name a few), the music never ceases during Montr\u00e9al\u2019s comfortably warm and humid summer climate.<\/p>\n

While in Montr\u00e9al, I took engaging courses on the French language and Qu\u00e9bec Culture and Society at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, attended innumerable concerts where I conducted interviews with musicians, and even spent forty hours throughout the summer with a Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois professor with whom I visited Montr\u00e9al\u2019s museums, libraries, and art galleries, or simply met at a cafe to study French grammar. Thanks to these opportunities, my research on the importance and diversity of hip-hop in Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois society\u2014in addition to the progress I made in French\u2014will significantly improve my masters papers, and has granted me an unforgettable summer.<\/p>\n

Cody Case is a graduate student in Ethnomusicology and received a Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship to study French in Montr\u00e9al this last summer. He is conducting research on hip-hop music in Qu\u00e9bec and how the music reflects the immigration experience in the province.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
