History
Mes Aïeux play Quebec's traditional music as living material rather than a museum piece. Fiddle reels, foot-tapping rhythm, call-and-response choruses and old legends from rural Quebec sit next to rock guitars, pop arrangements and sharp modern lyrics. The Montreal band took its name, which means "my ancestors", from that idea: the past is something to argue with, not only to honour. Their breakthrough came with the album En famille, and above all with "Dégénérations", a slow-building song that walks through several generations of a Quebec family and asks what was lost along the way. It became one of the most widely sung Quebec songs of its decade and turned the group into a mainstream act at home. La ligne orange and À l'aube du printemps kept the same formula of folk instruments, theatrical storytelling and social commentary. The signature is easy to hear: the reel rhythm under a pop chorus, voices singing together like a kitchen party, and French lyrics that mix humour, folklore and a pointed look at modern life.
