March 19: Jumbalaya Francophone

On March 19 I hosted a special episode of the Jumbalaya, to kick off International Francophone Day (la Journée Internationale de la Francophonie) - I showcased a bunch of fine Francophone music from the CJSF playlist (and one from outside the playlist)!

Throughout my time on air I made it a point to showcase as much Francophone music as I could, mostly because as someone very interested in the French language and Francophone culture, I feel that side of culture is quite underrepresented, especially in the West Coast.
While these days I've not played much francophone music as before, I've always wanted to do an all-Francophone Jumbalaya, even though my spoken French isn't as great as my reading comprehension. This led me to take this well-timed opportunity to showcase some of my favourite Francophone adds on the CJSF playlist.

Parts of this broadcast is in French...I'm not sure if my grammar is that great but I do try :P 90% Canadian Content for this one, woo hoo.
