Throughout his career he has been
awarded many prizes both at home and
abroad. Among other prizes, he received
the ADISQ Félix Hommage in 1993, which is
a testimony to the importance of his work
in the Francophone music world as well as
in the cultural evolution of Quebec in the
60s and 70s.

In 2005, a compilation of his most famous
songs came out on an album Tout écartillé,
with a show on tour under the same name.
Charlebois’ performance at the Festival
takes us back to the roots of Francophone
rock music that will draw generations of
fans together. The Francophone Summer
Festival is honoured to welcome him this
year in Vancouver, which will be the only
Western Canadian city where Charlebois will be giving a perfor-
mance. It will be a unique opportunity to discover and rediscover

the repertoire of this Quebecois legend !

During Portuguese Heritage Month, Le
Centre, the Alliance Francaise and the Por-
tuguese Benevolent Society will join forces
to celebrate the music festival and present
a singer with Portuguese roots.

Canadian born singer Suzana Da Camara
sings in French, Portuguese and English.
With her family roots in the Azores, she has
been profoundly influenced by Portuguese
culture and music. She sings of love and life, her lyrics set to the
seductive rhythms of bossa nova and jazzy melodies accompanied
on piano and the soft notes of an accoustic guitar.

In 2005, Suzana released her third album, which she composed
with guitarist Mike Dell under the direction of producer Jack Rich-
ardson. The album brought Suzana recognition at the Music and
Film in Motion awards, with two nominations for both best album
and best song for Searching Deep Down. The album also was se-
lected as one of the 10 best recordings of 2005 by the programme
Fresh Air on CBC / Radio-Canada.

Her talent travels well beyond our national boundaries. In Novem-
ber 2005, the Portuguese radio station Radio Club de Angra chose
her as artist of the month and in August 2005, the Japanese jazz
radio station Yellow Beat named Suzana artist of the month and
her cut Cha Cha song of the month. Since January 2006, her album
has been distributed in several countries in Asia including Japan,
Thailand and Indonesia.
