7pm ° Dumas “Le cours des jours”

At the age of 25, Dumas is already seen as the leader of the
pack in the new wave of young singers in Québec. A performer
who seems to be always centre stage these days, he has received
nothing but accolades from the critics and he moves from one
triumph to the next. In 1999 and 2000, this young singer-
songwriter-composer won first the Granby Music Festival
and then the Petite Vallée Festival, and went on to receive
nominations in the 2004 ADISQ Festival in the categories of
best vocal performer and best recording of the year. In 2005
he won the Rapsat Leliévre Prize, awarded by Québec and
Belgium, in the category “singer-songwriter-composer” as
well as the Jutra Prize for the best sound track for the film
“Les Aimants”, co-written with Carl Bastien, who has worked
with Dumas for a long time now. His album has maintained
its ranking on the hit parade as one of the best selling
Francophone recordings in Québec.

Encouraged by all his successes, this new star on the Québec
music scene has met enthusiastic audiences and all agree
that he is very talented in the art of improvisation. Always in
tune with the latest trends in Francophone music, the Festiva!
dété francophone de Vancouver brings Dumas and his electronic
and acoustic pop-rock to Vancouver for the very first time, with
a show that promises to be innovative and enthusiastic.
