1- LA
BONNE CHANSON
A pretty essay made by a student from Montreal Université du
Québec's music department on «La Bonne Chanson»:
those French and Catholic collections of songs faithfully learned by our
grand-parents from the Thirties to the Fifties...
2- QUÉBEC INFO MUSIQUE http://www.qim.com/
A relatively new, very ambitious and promising site, made by a team
of wild and rigorous researchers and collectors from Quebec City. Jammed
full of information on Québécois artists and currents in
popular song. Complete list of links and a developing CD store. A little
slow but it's worth the wait!
3- NOUVEAU MONDE http://www.dellarte.qc.ca/nouveaumonde/
A totally new musical comedy on historical themes... Go visit the attractive
website if you want to know more about the show (and perhaps buy it!)
4- LE GROUPE BORI http://www.bori.com/
An original concept of a group. This team of songwriters, singers,
jugglers, comedians and craftsmen have already made their fiercely independent
mark on Quebec's musical scene and industry. Strangely beautiful and multi-layered,
their website is another example of their appeal.
And don't forget LA TOILE DU QUÉBEC (IN FRENCH BUT WITH EASY-TO-USE CATEGORIES)to accompany you in your search for a good quantity and quality of Québec's music and culture websites!
