I know my English language readers who aren't longtime hockey fans are pronouncing Ariane Roy's last night wrong right now. [ʁwa], for those linguistically inclined, is the correct pronunciation. But Montreal Canadiens fans and francophones already knew that.

As most of you, I dedicate an entire month to Canadian music. This year, that included no less than three posts about today's artist.... including a song literally ABOUT her..... and another one in June!
What you don't know is that I really do sample my own supply. I listen to this music. And, one of my most listened to songs on Spotify in the month of March was "Apprendre Encore", by Ariane Roy, off her album medium plaisir. "Plaisir" translates to "Pleasure", for those of my anglophone readers who don't know that (I didn't).
Well, I really really wanted to feature that song during #MapleLeafMarch. Unfortunately, there was no official video created for the song. What WAS created was a 5-song showcase live film, directed by Adrian Villagomez, released to commemorate the release of that album. And, since "Apprendre Encore" was included in the set (10 minutes in), but it was bigger than just one song, I went with it for today!
The whole performance is an absolute masterpiece and you should watch it. Yes, there's a significant cameo, but this was Ariane's show, and she was absolutely crushing it (and clearly enjoying herself).
