Inspired by Louise Forestier

Since her psyched-out collaborations with Robert Charlebois in the late '60s, Louise Forestier's striking voice has reverberated through generations of quirky Québécois singers. In the ‘70s, folk hero Paul Piché shared her flair for dramatic oration; in the 21st century, indie ingenues like Marie Pierre-Arthur have embraced Forestier's fusion of open-hearted serenades and off-kilter sensibilities.
