Coup de cœur francophone | Daran at the Grand Hôtel Apocalypse

Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : Chanson francophone / Rock

Additional Information

Daran has been a household name in French-speaking America since 1992, and has since acquired Canadian citizenship, although he still travels back and forth between Quebec and France, where he regularly works as a producer. In October, he released his eleventh studio album, Grand Hôtel Apocalypse, which he will perform for the first time in Montreal as part of the Coup de cœur francophone, on Saturday November 9 at the Lion d’Or, preceded by Alicia Deschênes. From the outset, Daran’s rock songs have been both abrasive and meaningful, the expression of a quest for balance between polished lyrics and raw notes. Alain Brunet, who was the first Quebec journalist to interview him in April 1992 at the Printemps de Bourges festival, takes up the conversation with the artist who can now be considered as much a Quebecer as a Frenchman.
