La Bonne Chanson Au Quebec. Repertoire Francais 1925-19

“The movement of La Bonne Chanson, prompted by ThEodore Botrel and Father Gadbois, expressed Quebec’s patriotism against the invasion of English-speaking culture. Combining the struggle to safeguard the French language and an ecclesiastical presence, the movement went back to its roots and acted as the lever of French-speaking culture for many years. In this 4 CD set, Martin Duchesne, specializing in the history of recording in Quebec, presents one hundred titles which form the panorama of this musical movement in French-speaking Canada.” Patrick FrEmeaux & Claude Colombini
