It’s five decades of seeing life in pink and driving through the nicotine night that will be highlighted from November 2 to 12 Coup de cœur francophone, whose programming brings together venerable old timers and dapper young first-timers.
I am cool. The title of the song by Gilles Valiquette launched in 1973, so 50 years ago, could also come from the mouth of Rowjay, the rapper who will show the extent of his know-how on the Foufounes Électriques stage on November 2, and who therefore has the honor of inaugurating the 37e edition of the event devoted entirely to music in French please.
As for the coolest of our songwriters, he will make the countless gems of his catalog heard for the first time in too long, songs ideal for an autumn evening (November 10 at the Théâtre Outremont). It is well L’funIt is well L’funIt is well L’fun.

It is also 50 years of music (and dance steps in the gardens of Babylon) that Pierre Flynn celebrates in a new show entitled On my road (November 3 at Gesù). Moran, for his part, will pay tribute to Léo Ferré, who has continued his journey into another dimension for 30 years now, on November 7 at Club Soda. Poets, your papers!
Among the 90 performances offered in 10 venues in Montreal, we also include those of Fanny Bloom, Chloé Sainte-Marie, Samuele, Paul Sèxe, Yocto, Après l’asphalte and dope.gng.
You missed The king, the rose and the lou(p), highlight of the Francos of 2022? The opportunity has now come to come back (November 4 and 6) and witness the communion of voices and repertoires of Ariane Roy, Thierry Larose and Lou-Adriane Cassidy.
The Paule-Andrée Cassidy whose name also appears in the program (November 9 at the Théâtre Outremont)? Yes, it is indeed Lou-Adriane’s mother.
