I usually open Maple Leaf March with someone you have heard of, because I've written about them in the past.
Well, this year, I wanted to set a table - with an artist who most people outside of Quebec would never have heard of, despite her nearly 30-year career.

And, make no mistake - Paule-Andrée Cassidy is a legend in Quebec independent music. We've talked a lot here about the chanson francaise movement in Quebec, but she was one of the early adopters. She still makes music, too - this is from her 2023 album Au bal des océans. The song - co-written by Alexandre Martel (the producer), Gabriel Desjardins, Paule-Andrée and her daughter - is an absolute masterclass on a new classic album.
