Gilles Vigneault

A very well known artist in Québec was born on the North Shore on october 27, 1928. Gilles Vigneault is a very talented and unique artist from Natashquan. He is a signer, song-writer and poet. He received many prices and honnors during his long carrier, including the Canadian Songwriter Hall of Fame in 2006. He is 85 years old and still performing today. A lot of his songs and poem are about the tradition of his hometown village and the North Shore. For example, one of his song is called Joe Hébert. Jos Hébert was a mail carrier and was one of the most popular and best known men of the Shore. He lived here, in Tête-à-la-Baleine. It is Vigneault's way to present that part of the country to the other Canadians. Maybe some of you had the chance to see Gilles Vigneault perform.
