A Tour Through Montreal's Record District
Montréal, the famed French metropolis in the province of Québec, has a rich musical tradition that has earned the city the esteemed distinction of being Canada's Culture Capital. Many great musicians and live acts have originated from the city, including Leonard Cohen, Arcade Fire, A-Trak, and Chromeo. Thus, it is no shocker that the city houses an abundance of diverse record shops that could please even the most discriminate of music tastes.

It wasn't long before live music became an important part of the mix, and ultimately the reason that Foufs is still highly regarded, nearly 30 years later.
