This album coincides with Quebec City’s 400th anniversary and is a fine celebration of the rich musical diversity in this fascinating French Canadian Province. As I have spun tracks off this album, I often get calls asking what artist I am spinning…I believe that the music of this region is far less known by the outside than most would expect. This wonderful collection allows us all a look and listen inside the beautifully preserved colonial architecture within Quebec City rich with an appreciation of all styles of music which is no more obvious than with the large number of music festivals taking place there throughout the year. Certainly the fine folks at Putumayo spend diligent hours seeking out just the right mixture of variety from a melting pot of culture and sound. And I hope to share some of it with you.
