French-Canadian Artists

Recently, I've been given a show to host with my friend about music, current events in the world, pop culture and the like.

One of our requirements is to play 20% French or French related music.

So artists such as Simple Plan or Celine Dion would be great for that genre, as they're Canadian and French.

But, because we're a bilingual campus, I'd like some French songs. So does anyone know any French-Canadian artists/bands out there singing in English or French?

I could suggest loads of québecois music... but I assume you're looking for french canadian pop music, so I won't

Nope, I'm looking for ANYTHING.

I'd search PureVolume and MySpace Music in the Quebec section.

Ah-kay.
Barachois- crazy Acadian music. (They, sadly, aren't together anymore. And they used to come perform every year at the college right near me as part of the language program, but I was too young then to really enjoy it

)
Entourloupe and Le Vent du Nord- québecois music. (No idea if either of them are together or not.)

I've got some more, but those are the best.

Aweeesome suggestions, Benladesh!!! Les Trois Accords has a pretty big following at York, where Ammer and I go to school.

Yeah, he followed me to university too.

There's a student group for french-canadian pop music too, eh?
