Listening to la musique fran\u00e7aise<\/strong><\/a> (French music) is a good way to practice your French and have fun \u00e0 la fois<\/strong> (at the same time). When you find un groupe<\/strong> that has a style you really you study all the time just by listening to them over and over.<\/p>\n

Les S\u0153urs Boulay<\/em><\/strong> (The Boulay Sisters) are a folk duo from Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong> that I stumbled upon par hasard<\/strong> (randomly) while je surfais<\/a> sur Internet<\/strong> (I was surfing the Internet). La musique<\/strong> is a fun mix of whimsical lyrics and acoustic instruments<\/a>. Leurs chansons<\/strong> (their songs) are very catchy and I cannot stop myself from singing along whenever I hear them.<\/p>\n

Les S\u0153urs<\/strong> behind the group, St\u00e9phanie et<\/strong> M\u00e9lanie Boulay, are originally from la Gasp\u00e9sie<\/strong> au<\/a> Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong> and made a splash in the music scene when they won un concours<\/strong><\/a> (a competition) in 2012. Soon after le concours<\/strong> they recorded their first album, Le poids des confettis<\/strong><\/em> (the weight of the confetti). Since then les s\u0153urs<\/strong> have also been featured on La Voix<\/strong><\/em>, The Voice<\/em><\/a> au Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong>, and released a second album.<\/p>\n

L’accent canadien <\/strong><\/a>(the Canadian accent) that Les S\u0153urs Boulay<\/em><\/strong> have sticks out for people who are not used to it, but l\u2019accent<\/strong> gives la musique<\/strong> a unique sound that I really enjoy. Even if I don\u2019t always understand l\u2019argot<\/strong> (the slang), les paroles<\/strong> (the lyrics) give me an excuse to look up les nouveaux mots<\/strong> (the new words).<\/p>\n
