Album lore

"Tears On The Dancefloor," arriving in early 2025 on MOONSHINE MUSIC, gathers seven tracks from Pierre Kwenders, a voice threading through chanson québécoise and folk québécois with threads of kuduro. His blend carries a distinctive resonance, pairing the traditional lyricism of Quebec’s chanson with the kinetic rhythms of Angolan dance music. The album’s featured track, "Clair De Lune," exemplifies this fusion, balancing familiar melodic contours against a propulsive beat.With titles like "Ambiance (Ndombolo)" and "Merci, Beaucoup!," Kwenders nods to cross-cultural currents without diluting the intimate core of his songwriting. The record’s modest footprint—seven tracks—suggests a concise statement, one that invites repeated listening to discern its layered textures. It stands as a contemporary artifact within the chanson and pop québécoise lineage, offering both local specificity and global reach.
