Garolou is a French Canadian folk-rock group created in 1975. It was originally called Lougarou, but had to change its name after being sued by a dance troup named Les Loups-garous. The group became popular not only in Quebec but across Canada, with its rock sound and its lyrics taken from French and French Canadian traditional songs. In 1993 the band made a return supported by many concerts each year.

  • Garolou is a French Canadian folk-rock group created in 1975. It was originally called Lougarou, but had to change its name after being sued by a dance troup named Les Loups-garous. The group became popular not only in Quebec but across Canada, with its rock sound and its lyrics taken from French and French Canadian traditional songs. In 1993 the band made a return supported by many concerts each year. The band performed at many popular festivals such as the Festival International d'été de Québec and the Festival franco ontarien. The band released in 1997 a live album called Réunion that captures Garolou's live experience and, two years later, a brand new album called Mémoire Vive. Garolou has won two Felix Awards (ADISQ Gala) for the albums Garolou (1978) and Romancero (1980) and a Gold certification for the album Garolou (1978).
  • Garolou est un groupe de musique franco-canadien formé en 1975. Le groupe s'est d'abord appelé Lougarou, mais suite à une contestation légale d'une troupe folklorique en 1977, le groupe a dû changer de nom. Jusqu'en 1982, Garolou interprète des pièces du répertoire folklorique français et canadien-français avec des arrangements rock utilisant des instruments électriques et des synthétiseurs. En 1993, le groupe effectue un retour sur scène et, cinq ans plus tard, enregistre un nouvel album, intitulé Mémoire Vive, qui paraît l'année suivante et témoigne d'un retour aux sources folkloriques pour le groupe.
