Alaclair Ensemble is a Canadian hip hop musical collective based in the province of Quebec.
[2][9] The collective was formed in Quebec City, after several of the members had participated in Bande à part's 93 tours project in 2007.
[17] The group's 2013 album Les maigres blancs d'Amérique du Noir,[18][19] whose title is a satirical pun on Pierre Vallières' Quebec revolutionary manifesto Les nègres blancs d'Amérique, was released on Google Records and was a long-listed nominee for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.
[25] They then released their first priced album, Les Frères Cueilleurs,[26] and went on a tour of Quebec and parts of Europe.
[36] Also in 2019, the city of Laval, Quebec commissioned the group to create a song and video to encourage recycling.
