    Madame Bolduc (a.k.a. La Bolduc)

    Mary Rose-Anne Bolduc (née Travers), singer, songwriter, harmonica player, fiddler (born 4 June 1894 in Newport, QC; died 20 February 1941 in Montreal, QC). Madame Bolduc, or simply La Bolduc, was Quebec’s first chansonniere. Joyous, likeable and dynamic, she was popular just before and during the Great Depression. Known as the “Queen of Canadian Folk Singers,” she sang about the daily problems and difficulties of ordinary life and was guided by a keen sense of observation. Songs such as “La Cuisinière,” “La Servante,” “Le Commerçant des rues,” “L'Enfant volé,” “Les Colons canadiens” and “Les Conducteurs de chars” made her a legend in Quebec. La Bolduc had a profound influence on the evolution of the Quebec chanson. Her work is considered a prototypical and permanent part of Quebec's musical legacy. She was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003.
