With La Canaille, it's almost a case of "intellectual" rap. La Canaille, who won
the "Révélation du Printemps de Bourges 2007" label for good reason, develop
well-written lyrics and a hybrid sound between rock and rap. The name of the
group, from Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), comes from a workers' chant from
1871. La Canaille released their debut album Une Goutte de Miel dans un Litre de
Plomb in September 2009. LaCanaille continues its protest movement with Par
Temps de Rage (2011) and La Nausée (2014).
