Originally from Manitoba, and now based in Alberta, Raphaël Freynet is part of a young generation of Western Canadian artists who, over the past few years, have been emerging onto the Francophone scene. An accomplished pianist and guitarist, Raphaël has developed his own brand of intoxicating indie pop-rock. His exquisite melodies and Brit-rock-tinged voice project a compelling mix of boldness and reverie. Raphaël’s first album, Le monde à voir, is composed of ten original songs - two of which are in english - written around the themes of the journeys that we need to take, and the roots that tie us back to the places we call home.
Raphaël has certainly been seeing the world in 2010. In March, he travelled to Mexico City with NON NON NON to represent Alberta at the Rostros de la francophonia and the prestigious Festival de Mexico. He played a show with Les Rencontres qui chantent at the Vue sur la relève festival in Montreal, and in November 2010, he participated in Le Grand 8, which toured in Quebec and in France. His new album recently WON for Best Francophone Recording at the 2011 Western Canadian Music Awards.
*We featured Raphael's song Play.
