Musician

Montreal bassist and composer Hugo Blouin writes songs using the musicality of the spoken word. He published three albums, including Sport national (2023), a set playful, historical and quite physical hockey jazz songs that reflect on the role of this sport in Canadian culture, for better or for worse. His previous two albums of Charbonneau ou les valeurs à' bonne place (Volume 1 in 2018 and Volume 2 2022) rendered a tongue-in-cheek homage to a Quebec inquiry commission on organized crime, political funding and the construction industry. They received notable praise and attention, both at home and abroad.
