Chanson Québécoise
À propos de Chanson Québécoise
The francophone song tradition of Quebec, distinct from Paris chanson and tied to Québécois identity, the Quiet Revolution, and the Parti Québécois years. Félix Leclerc invented it, Robert Charlebois broke it open with rock and joual, Diane Dufresne staged it, and Beau Dommage made it neighbourhood-scale. Still sung in joual, still political when it wants to be.
