Bambi loves this song that has been famous in Qu\u00e9bec maybe for the entire past fifteen years? Indeed, its melody is a pure pleasure to the ears while inviting you to dance. Its title is clever. Its lyrics are food for thought in French as well as in its sub-titled English translation below (thanks to the person who did the translation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further below, you can see the Mes A\u00efeux<\/em> [my ancestors] musical group formed in 1996 singing with Ms. C\u00e9line Dion. This group is talented in both music and in raising meaningful societal, environmental, or even political questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Canadian Encyclopedia<\/em> (https:\/\/www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca\/en\/article\/mes-aieux-my-ancestors<\/a>), M<\/em>es A\u00efeux<\/em>‘ “music, which they describe as folk-inspired pop, often evokes the traditional tales and legends of Quebec. The songs of Mes A\u00efeux, with their elaborate arrangements, have a very contemporary, theatrical feeling<\/em>” .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Merci pour cette belle chanson, M<\/em>es A\u00efeux”<\/em>! Bambi wishes you [or us rather :)!] a beautiful continuation of your successes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
