Hubert Lenoir scored a hat-trick on Sunday night by receiving the Félix for Male Interpreter of the Year at the end of the night, followed by Artist of the Year – International Influence and Author or Composer of the Year. In total, with the Gala de l’industrie and the Premier Gala de l’ADISQ, this brought him a total of seven trophies this year.
It’s an audience award, so for all the people who say that my music is only heard in a microcosm, in urban centers, maybe there you can say “Shut up,” he said in the evening. You don’t have to like me, but I just think it’s important to be curious about other people.

Roxane Bruneau repeated her performance from last year by again winning the esteemed Félix for Female Performer of the Year. When you think of the Female Performer Award, you don’t think of me first, femininity, but I want to say a big thank you to the audience. You created me, you brought me here and I’m glad I wasn’t just Flavor of the Month, she said on stage.

As the evening wore on, it took an unexpected turn when Quebec metal band Voivod took the stage to present the award in the Group or Duo of the Year category. Voivod celebrates four decades of career this year.
The traditional Acadian music quintet Salebarbes was crowned. After a live album in 2019, the band released their debut studio album, Gin Salé, in 2021.

After an academic double on stage with performances by Lisa Leblanc and Edith Butler, and a rap segment with Naya Ali and Sarahmée, Les Cowboys Fringants took the stage to accept the Félix for Album of the Year – a hit for America Cries (Original Film soundtrack). The album had already brought them an award in the category “Album of the Year – Reinterpretation” last Wednesday.
Remember that the quartet, formed 25 years ago in Repentigny, was crowned Group of the Year at the Gala de l’ADISQ 2021.

Space for the next generation in the middle of the evening when the five artists in the running for the Félix for the unveiling of the year have chained performances on stage. Special mention deserves the passage of Ariane Roy, who interpreted You Wanted To Speak, a song from her first album Medium Pleasure, released earlier this year.
It was she who got her hands on the trophy, winning ahead of Jay Scøtt, La Zarra, Natasha Kanapé and Étienne Coppée. The prize was awarded by Claudine Prévost and Pierre Lapointe.
Ariane Roy was named Revelation of the Year.
