For #TuneTuesday this week, we're sharing #MyFavMusic2024.
P'tit Belliveau, a one-of-a-kind musician from Nova Scotia who sings in Acadian French and English, put out an excellent country/synth-pop/hip-hop/metal album in March. I haven't stopped listening to it all year. This is definitely one of its quieter and prettier tunes.

Since the Congrès Mondial Acadien in August, which I missed, I've been using their schedule of #Acadian #music acts that played to discover music, new to me. https://cma2024.ca/en/program/artists/
In case anyone is interested, I'll make a thread of my favourites so far. These are just the ones that I happen to have looked into, enjoyed, and found some way of purchasing online. More to come, I'm sure, as I slowly make my way through.

One of my favourite cook books, with recipes from my childhood. The authors also delve into Acadian history and traditions along with recipes. A lovely cookbook with simple yet hearty meals. Side note - my grandmother was born in the Acadian Village in New Brunswick. #AltTxt #AltText #Cookbook #Acadian #Acadie #FrenchCanadian
Looking forward to later today. A good friend is coming over, we’re gonna bake some Sugar Pies Acadienne. It’s one of my happy memories from being a kid growing up in a French Canadian #Acadian household. It’s a tradition/happy memory I hope to pass down to my kids.
