You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Music of Canada))

'''French Canadian music''' is music derived from that brought by the early French settlers to what is now [[Quebec]] and other areas throughout Canada, or any music performed by the [[French Canadian people]].  Since the arrival of [[music of France|French music]] in Canada, there has been much intermixing with the [[Celtic music]] of Anglo-Canada.

French-Canadian folk music is generally performed to accompany dances such as the [[jig]], [[jeux dansé]], [[ronde (dance)|ronde]], [[cotillion]], and [[quadrille]].  The [[fiddle]] is perhaps the most common instrument utilized and is used by virtuosos such as [[Jean Carignan]], [[Jos Bouchard]], and [[Joseph Allard (fiddler)|Joseph Allard]].  Also common is the [[diatonic button accordion]], played by the likes of [[Philippe Bruneau]] and [[Alfred Montmarquette]]. [[Spoon (musical instrument)|Spoons]], [[bones (instrument)|bone]]s, and [[jaw harp]]s are also played in this music.  A distinctive part of the French Canadian sound is ''[[podorythmie]]'' ("foot rhythm"), which involves using the feet to tap out complex rhythmic patterns, it is quite similar to [[tap dancing]] but is done from a seated position, and can be done simultaneously while playing the violin or other small instruments.

[[French colonization of the Americas|French settlers]] in [[New France]] established their musical forms in the nascent colonies of [[Canada (New France)]] and [[Acadia|(New France)]] before the British conquest, completed in 1759.  Already diverging from the music of France, Canadian and Acadian music were becoming distinct from each other, reinforced by the different experience of the regions under British rule, with Acadians experiencing a mass expulsion and partial return. The French (Quebecois) tradition continued to spread westward, however, in the form of the camp songs and rowing songs of the [[voyageurs]], professional canoemen in the employ of the [[North American fur trade|fur trading companies]].  In the west this tradition intermingled with others to give birth to [[Metis fiddling|Metis music]].

There was no scholarly study of French Canadian song until [[Ernest Gagnon]]'s 1865 collection of 100 folk songs. In 1967, [[Radio-Canada]] released ''[[The Centennial Collection of Canadian Folk Songs]]'' (much of which was focused on French-Canadian music), which helped launch a revival of Quebec folk. Singers like [[Yves Albert]], [[Edith Butler]], and, especially, [[Félix Leclerc]] and [[Gilles Vigneault]], helped lead the way. The 1970s saw purists like [[Le Rêve du Diable]] and [[La Bottine Souriante]] continue the trend. As Quebec folk continued to gain in popularity, artists like [[Harmonium (band)|Harmonium]], [[Kate & Anna McGarrigle]], [[Jim Corcoran]], [[Bertrand Gosselin]], and [[Paul Piché]] found a mainstream audience.

Since 1979, Quebec music artists have been recognized with the [[Felix Award]].

In 2017, [[Universal Music Canada]] launched ''Canada 150: A Celebration of Music'', a six-disc album to celebrate the [[150th anniversary of Canada]]. It was criticised for not including any French-language song.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/canada-150-compilation-no-french-songs-1.4208724 Universal Music's Canada 150 compilation has some Quebecers crying foul] - 17 July 2017</ref><ref>[http://www.lapresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/societe/201707/19/01-5117683-compilation-du-150e-en-anglais-joly-condamne-universal.php Compilation du 150e en anglais: Joly condamne Universal]- Le Soleil, 19 July 2017</ref>
