Putumayo Presents Quebec

Putumayo Presents Quebec
- VARIOS INTERPRETES QUEBEC
Putumayo joins in the 400th Anniversary celebration of one of the world's most fascinating and beautiful cities with the new release QuÃ©bec. This collection features an array of QuÃ©bÃ©cois songs ranging from traditional folk to contemporary singer-songwriters, and even includes a song by a Native Canadian artist singing in the rare Montagnais language. Designated as a World Heritage City, QuÃ©bec City has a proud musical tradition. Drawn from a variety of influences such as French and Celtic folk traditions and European pop, QuÃ©bÃ©cois music includes a broad range of sounds and styles. Through this enchanting selection of songs, Putumayo seeks to introduce listeners to the compelling music of this unique province. With their modern hippie attitude, DobaCaracol is a bit of an anomaly on the QuÃ©bec pop music scene, but their enchanting fusion of funk, reggae vibes and African rhythms with French-language pop has earned them a wide following. Singer ChloÃ© Sainte-Marie, after establishing herself as a film actress, has earned her place as a popular and respected vocalist whose songs draw from the poetry of French, QuÃ©bÃ©cois and Inuit writers. One of the most recognizable figures in QuÃ©bÃ©cois popular music, Annie Villeneuve was a celebrated winner of the television program Star AcadÃ©mie, the QuÃ©bÃ©cois equivalent of American Idol. Singer-songwriter Florent Vollant writes most of his songs in his native Montagnais language, an Algonquian language spoken by over 11,000 people. As part of the successful Native American pop group Kashtin, Vollant has helped bring indigenous Canadian music to a wide audience throughout Canada. QuÃ©bec also features 7 other artists who have drawn from a diverse range of influences to create their own unique sounds. A portion of the proceeds from QuÃ©bec will be donated to Jeunes Musiciens du Monde (Young Musicians of the World), a QuÃ©bec-based non-profit organization
