It’s five decades of seeing life in pink and driving through the nicotine night that will be highlighted from November 2 to 12 by 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 37th 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’s good fun, it’s good fun, it’s good fun.

Pierre Flynn is also celebrating 50 years of music (and dance steps in the gardens of Babylon) in a new show entitled Sur ma route (November 3 at Gesù). Moran will pay tribute to Léo Ferré, who has been pursuing 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.

Did you miss Le roy, la rose et le lou(p), the highlight of the 2022 Francos? 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 Théâtre Outremont)? Yes, it is indeed Lou-Adriane’s mother.
