Mes Aïeux - Dégénération (English Subtitles) Posted by: tragiedia
Video duration: 189 seconds I put subtitles on this music video by Québec band Mes Aïeux that is really good. It's about different generations in Quebec and what kind of life/possibilities they had. I suppose it could apply to anywhere but the transition in Quebec from Catholic backwater to liberal modernity was particularly quick and harsh. (Read up about the Quiet Revolution/Révolutio n Tranquille.) Related: aieux, canada, farm, ferme, generation, histoire, history, mes, passé, past, québec |
