César et les Romains, a pivotal band hailing from Quebec, Canada, emerged as a significant force in the yé-yé music era of the 1960s. The group, with its catchy rhythms and charismatic stage presence, quickly rose in popularity, becoming iconic figures in the Francophone music scene. They took their name as a playful nod to the historical figure Julius Caesar and added a contemporary twist, creating a memorable identity that resonated with fans.

The band's repertoire predominantly featured French adaptations of popular English hits, but they also produced original French songs that endeared them to their audience. Their energetic performances and the period's distinctive, danceable beats made them a staple on the Canadian music charts and a treasured part of Quebec's musical heritage. Despite being less active in later years, the remastered releases like "XIII V X" and compilations such as "Le top 30" have allowed new generations to discover and appreciate the enduring appeal of César et les Romains, not only as musicians but also as cultural icons of their time.
