Folklore québécois, the traditional music of Quebec, embodies the rich cultural tapestry of the region with lively rhythms and heartfelt melodies that tell the stories of its people. Rooted in French, Irish, and Indigenous influences, the genre heavily features instruments like the fiddle, accordion, and harmonica, often accompanied by foot-tapping (podorythmie). Its repertoire includes energetic reels, jigs, and plaintive ballads that convey both the joys and hardships of rural life. Artists like Ti-Jean Carignan and Monsieur Pointu have preserved and popularized this vibrant musical heritage, ensuring its resonance in contemporary Quebec culture.
