PLOT : After a remarkable and successful 30-year career in heavy metal and Italian-language world music, Montreal singer/songwriter Marco Calliari is ready to undertake his next creative challenge: writing and releasing music in French. Alongside a few of his peers–Paul Cargnello, Kathia Rock and Mamselle Ruiz–Calliari questions the Quebec music industry’s practices and policies regarding language. Can songwriters from Quebec’s cultural, linguistic and Aboriginal plurality carve out a place for themselves in the music industry of Quebec? Or is it time for industry leaders and decision makers to re-evaluate their priorities?
