So I’m an Anglophone, but there’s a handful of Francophone Canadian tracks I’ve found and dug hard. This is one of them, from Keith Kouna hailing from Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, QC.

Any of our Quebequois friends want to tell us more about this guy? The only thing I know is I heard this on a French radio station once, and it immediately went on the ‘skateboarding down stuff very fast’ playlist.

    Fair enough - considered it before but particularly with songs, I’m worried about missing context/mistranslations, particularly where figurative language or wordplay is involved. That and I try to avoid stuff like ChatGPT (though I’d be a little more OK with translation by a self-hosted LLM), but that’s just a me thing.

      You’re right. It can be useless if nobody double check it and even then, it will never be the same.
