PLUME LATRAVERSE | 21 H

Auteur-compositeur-interpréte né a Montréal en 1946, Plume Latraverse est une légende du rock. II débute sa carriére dans les années 60 et compose peu a peu des chansons aux inspirations folks. Dés la parution de ses premiers aloums au milieu des années soixante-dix, bon nombre de ses chansons sont devenues des standards repris dans la maiorité des brasseries, bars et festivals a la grandeur du Québec et au-dela. Qualifié tour a tour de rocker, chansonnier, fantaisiste et bluesman, selon la tangente de son inspiration, Plume est avant tout un poéte pour qui la musique est un véhicule privilégié, sans étre sa seule forme d’expression artistique. En dépit des exces et de l’esprit de contradiction qui le caractérisent, il laisse transparaitre dans ses propos une extréme sagesse. Ce personnage insaisissable nous entrainera dans un monde déroutant.

PLUME LATRAVERSE | 9 P.M.

Singer-songwriter-composer Plume Latraverse was born in Montreal in 1946 and has become a legend of rock music. He began his career in the 60s and gradually the songs he wrote began to show the influence of folk music. With the release of his very first aloums, in the mid-seventies, a good many of his songs became stand-by hits in most of the restaurants, bars and festivals throughout Quebec and beyond. His imagination took him down many paths and earned him a reputation under different guises — rocker, chansonnier, blues artist and whimsical performer. Plume is above all a poet, for whom music is a privileged mode of artistic expression, but not the only one. This unsettling character cannot easily be summed up in any description, as his nature is full of excesses and contradictions. Nevertheless, his , words resonate with deep wisdom and he has the talent to draw us into the crazy , eddy of his imagination.
