Coup de cœur francophone
Le Roy, la Rose et le Lou[p] at Club Soda, Coup de cœur francophone, 2023
Founded in Montreal in 1987, Coup de cœur francophone is a festival dedicated to the discovery and promotion of French-language music. Its programming, which brings together artists from the national and international scenes, focuses on emerging, bold and innovative music. In 1995, Coup de cœur francophone launched its “travelling festival” component, creating a Canada-wide network that now includes ten partners active in the heart of French-speaking communities. The event, which spans six time zones, presents nearly two hundred shows each year from coast to coast. The Canada-wide network showcases French-language creation and facilitates the circulation of artists, particularly those from Francophone and minority communities. And by bringing new trends to the fore, the festival gives communities access to a wide range of programming.
