An hour of Quebec.
Not a tourist postcard, the real thing!!
Gilles Vigneault's "Mon pays" defines an entire nation.
Les Cowboys Fringants critique their own society with love and rage.
Plume Latraverse's raw poetry makes you laugh and wince in the same breath.
Montréal haunts three different artists three different ways.
A rural farmer watches his land disappear.
And we end with a subversive cover of the national anthem that says everything about who Quebec really is.
This is what identity sounds like when artists refuse to simplify it.
Identity isn't one song. It's Héron's lakeside folk, and Beau Dommage's Sunday nights.
It's fierce, it's tender, it's complicated, and it's unmistakably Quebec.
No French required. Just listen to what a people sound like when they're telling their own story.
