Mr. Speaker, Aside · 13 wordsare you familiar with Angine de Poitrine, which roughly translates to “chest pain”?Aside Claims · 66 wordsI am not referring to the medical condition, but to the duo made up of Saguenay natives Khn and Klek de Poitrine, the hottest music phenomenon on the planet. They are blowing up on social media. Their song Fabienk has become the most viral hit on Spotify worldwide, ¹and they top the charts in 50 different countries, including Canada, the U.S., France, Spain, Australia, ²and Chile. Positioning · 14 wordsThis is hardly surprising, considering that their music travels more than the Prime Minister.Positioning Aside · 16 wordsIn the Saguenay region, music is by no means a simple matter of “lah, lah, lah”.Aside Claims · 22 wordsWith Angine de Poitrine, it also includes “dada pythago-cubist mantra-rock”. Even the most eminent music experts are enthralled by all this innovation. Positioning · 53 wordsThe band’s creativity would make Salvador Dali blush, and if Mozart were alive, he would call them geniuses. Angine de Poitrine is a sign of Quebec’s artistic ingenuity and offers further proof that where culture is concerned, our nation knows how to raise the roof and, who knows, maybe even build a country.Positioning
