Alaclair Ensemble

Alaclair Ensemble, widely recognized as a fixture in contemporary Quebecois hip-hop, is an eclectic and avant-garde musical collective hailing from Canada. Their formation dates back to around 2010 when they surfaced as a self-proclaimed "post-rigodon bassin crew," referring to a traditional dance and a metaphor for their cultural heritage mixed with modern interpretations. Renowned for their clever wordplay, inventive beats, and proudly unorthodox approach to hip-hop, the group has firmly rooted themselves in the Francophone music scene, blending a range of influences from jazz to electro and beyond.

With a series of innovative releases that showcase their evolutionary sound, Alaclair Ensemble has not only gained critical acclaim but has also built a loyal following. Albums like "Les Frères Cueilleurs" and "America, Vol. 2" highlight their ability to fuse thought-provoking lyrics with head-nodding instrumentals, while singles such as "FLX" and "Mets du respect dans ton bac" display their signature humor and societal critique. The collective's refusal to stay within the confines of genre or convention makes every project, from "Le sens des paroles" to "LAIT PATERNEL," an exciting adventure for listeners. Their work is distinguished by a spirit of camaraderie and a palpable sense of joy and rebellion in their artistry, establishing Alaclair Ensemble as a vital part of the Québécois and Canadian music tapestry.
