The Centre culturel Frontenac is pleased to present an article by our intern Elie Hueglin from École secondaire catholique Sainte Marie Rivier on LeFLOFRANCO.
On Sunday, September 22nd, LeFLOFRANCO came to Kingston to perform a free show during the intercultural arts festival.
Originally from Ottawa, LeFLOFRANCO specializes mostly in hip-hop music, branching out into Afrobeat and EDM. His Haitian heritage leaves a lasting impression on his art, with influences of reggae and soca prominent in some of his songs. He defines his style as “multicolor urban pop.”
His songs often reflect on his past, giving listeners a unique perspective into his personal life. Many of his songs have won significant awards in the Canadian music scene, including his single “Danser avec toi,” which won first gold in the “Manie Musicale” contest last year. His talents have also earned him nominations at the Trille Or Gala and the Capitol Music Awards.
At the intercultural arts festival, LeFLOFRANCO, in collaboration with DJ UNPIER, spread good vibes and got the crowd on their feet.
It was certainly an unforgettable show for the city of Kingston as well as for LeFLOFRANCO. We are sincerely grateful to the City of Kingston for organizing this wonderful festival, as well as to our partners, ACFOMI, CECCE, and CEPEO.
Thank you, Elie, for this beautiful article.
