Le disque comprend 10 chansons et une version en dessin animé de Cadet Roussel sur vidéo.
The songs of an iconic French–Canadian singer reimagined through illustrations and musical performance. Inspired by a short animated film produced in 1989 by the National Film Board of Canada, which featured legendary poet and songwriter Félix Leclerc performing a moving interpretation of the traditional French children’s song “Cadet Rousselle,” this work is admirably brought to life by one of Canada’s distinguished painters, Jean Dallaire. The featured album includes 10 touching renditions of several well-known Leclerc songs performed by young female vocalists, including DobaCaracol, Catherine Durand, Jorane, and Mara Tremblay.
