Les Colocs were a seminal group in the Quebec music scene, known for their distinctive blend of blues, rock, and reggae with a touch of folk, humor, and social commentary. Formed in 1990 in Montreal, Canada, the band quickly earned a reputation for their lively performances and charismatic stage presence. Fronted by the unique voice and magnetic personality of lead singer André "Dédé" Fortin, Les Colocs cultivated a dedicated following with their thoughtful lyrics and engaging melodies.
Their eponymous debut album "Les Colocs," released in 1993, was a commercial success in Quebec and set the stage for later works, including "Atrocetomique" and "Dehors Novembre." The latter was an exploration of more somber themes, showcasing the band's maturity and depth. Tragedy struck with the untimely death of Dédé Fortin in 2000, which inevitably led to the band's dissolution. Nonetheless, their legacy continued to thrive posthumously with albums such as "Suite 2116," which featured previously unreleased material, and the live compilation "Les Colocs Live 1993-1998." As landmarks in the Francophone music world, Les Colocs left an indelible mark on Canada's cultural landscape, remembered for their poetic approach to both the joys and the hardships of life, and their commitment to capturing the heart of the Quebecois spirit in song.
