Release Notes:

Putumayo joins in the 400th Anniversary celebration
of one of the world's most fascinating and
beautiful cities with the new release Quebec. This
collection features an array of Quιbιcois 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, Quebec City
has a proud musical tradition. Drawn from a variety
of influences such as French and Celtic folk
traditions and European pop, Quebecois music
includes a broad range of sounds and styles.Yet
despite its potential broad international appeal,
the music of Quebec is not very well known to
people outside of the province. 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 Quebec 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 Chloe
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, Quebecois and Inuit writers. One of the
most recognizable figures in Quebecois popular
music, Annie Villeneuve was a celebrated winner of
the television program Star Academie, the Quebecois
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. Quebec also
features 7 other artists who have drawn from a
diverse range of influences to create their own
unique sounds.

Quebec follows the Putumayo line of successful
French-language albums including French Cafe,
Paris, French Playground and French Caribbean.

A portion of the proceeds from Quιbec will be
donated to Jeunes Musiciens du Monde (Young
Musicians of the World), a Quebec-based non-profit
organization that provides children free schooling
and training in traditional music.
