In the Lanaudière region, Philippe Jetté and Mélanie Boucher have taken on a mission to share the intangible culture of the area with local residents. Being advocates of a dynamic and intimate approach to cultural transmission, the duo presents participatory concerts accompanied by talks, such as the one entitled Chansons et réflexions intimes, dans un salon ouvert ! (Songs and intimate reflexions in an open space !) launched in the Fall of 2018. Each event has the couple visit six families with whom they explore family singing traditions. This is a unique creative enterprise that is part theatre, part concert, part informal social gathering, all gathered together as a cultural initiative. This article will examine the path taken by these cultural innovators and tradition bearers and will highlight the groundbreaking activities that earned them the 2019 Desjardins cultural innovation prize in the Lanaudière region.

If rap has reached a certain cultural legitimacy, the work of female rappers remains largely in the shadows. Masculine voices have imposed themselves in Québec rap milieu, as evidenced by their presence in the labels and on the radio. This article offers an analysis of the texts from two female rappers, MCM and Donzelle, in order to examine how they build their lyrical authority, that is, the credibility of their voice, the ideological validity of their words and the aesthetic value of their singing. Three strategies are implemented. First, both rappers include a sexist point of view in their rap in order to reproduce the social and discursive context in which they are involved. Second, they offer another representation of women to reply to the sexist imaginary from which originate some rap works. Lastly, MCM and Donzelle create an aesthetic of their own, playing with the codes of trash, predominant in their work.
