We missed FouKi. We first featured him and his collaboration with Jay Scøtt in 2022. That Félix award-winning song ended up on my heavy rotation and was my most-listened to song on Spotify in 2022.
It is also sung by people in my house who do not speak French.
FouKi was also nominated for a Juno in 2022 - for Francophone Album of the Year. He lost - and deservedly so, honestly. Impossible à aimer was amazing. He's nominated again this year in the same category, for Zayon, and I am boldly predicting victory.
This song, a collaboration with fellow Canadian artist P'tit Belliveau (he is a folk musician from Nova Scotia who does a fair bit of Acadian vocals), is quite energetic. It is a party song, celebrating a popular festival day in Quebec of St. Jean Baptiste.
Also, FouKi wearing the Nordiques sweater is straight fire.
I actually like this better live. You can really hear the Acadian folk that Belliveau brings to the party. FouKi brings the Expos jersey to the party in this performance.
