Okoumé (band)

The group formed in 1995 received the first prize in French Canadian radio station CKOI-FM's "Le concours Pro-Scène" ("Pro-Scene Contest"), which yielded them one hundred hours in a recording studio.

They were also the opening act for noted French Canadian singer-songwriter Kevin Parent.

Four tracks from the album (Dis-moi pas ça, La lune pleure, Le bruit des origines, and La mer à boire) placed in weekly Top Ten rankings, with Le bruit des origines ranking at number in CKOI-FM's Top 50 of 1998 and La mer à boire ranking at number 24 the following year.

[3] The album failed to capture the interest of the public, so the group decided to disband in 2002.

[4][2] The band reformed for a reunion show in 2014, as part of Montreal's Coup de coeur francophone festival.
