I heard Le Vent du Nord interviewed on NPR the other morning--they're fantastic! A four-person folk music group from Quebec, they both play and collect folk music in the province (or not-province: their tour information say "Le Vent du Nord has toured extensively across the US, Canada, Quebec and in Europe") and elsewhere. Not only was their playing and singing wonderful to hear, but they reminded me how much I love listening to sung French, even though my grasp of the language is nowhere near good enough to understand the lyrics while they're being sung.

Now, if I could just remember the name of the French guitarist whose albums I gave one of my college friends...

I recommend with every fibre of my being, Robert Paquette, a folk singer from Canada who sings in French. His work is difficult to find, but I adore him, I met him when I was twelve!!!

There are YouTube videos of him singing in English, but I prefer him in French:
