The French-Canadian band La Chicane specializes in a hybrid of jazz, rock & roll, and lounge music. The grouped was formed in 1993 in Val-d'Or, Quebec, by bandmates Boom Desjardins, Éric Lemieux, Alain Villeneuve, Christian Legault, and Suzanne Dufour. En Catimini, La Chicane's debut album, was released in 1999 and became both a commercial and critical success. One year after its release, En Catimini was named "Best Selling Francophone Album" at the 2000 Juno Awards, with La Chicane also receiving a nomination for "Best Group." A follow-up album, Disparu, was released in 2000, marking the band's first album without co-founder Suzanne Dufour. Another original member, Alain Villeneuve, left the lineup shortly after Disparu's release. Despite the turnover, Disparu was nearly as successful as the band's debut, receiving a gold certification in Canada as well as a Juno nomination for "Best Selling Francophone Album." La Chicane added new musicians to its roster and returned with a third album, 2004's Ent' nous autres, which earned the band a Juno nomination for "Group of the Year." Meanwhile, Desjardins launched a solo career with 2004's Boom Desjardins, which reached Number 3 on the Canadian Albums Chart, went gold, and earned a nomination for "Pop Album of the Year" at the 2006 Juno Awards. Although La Chicane released La Chicane: 1998–2006 (Best Of) in 2006 and the self-titled La Chicane in 2008, the group's momentum steadily decreased as its members focused on their own projects. Touring occasionally, the group refrained from recording new material until the 2020s, when they released Quand ça va bien in 2022.
