Ottawa artist of the #RapFrancoCan scene, LeFLOFRANCO offers a sound filled with high vibrations accompanied by lyrics full of emotion. Seeking to push the hip-hop scene to new heights, he describes his style as “multicolored urban pop.” 

FLO wants to bring a multi-dimensional perspective to what can sometimes be dark. In terms of production, he seeks to take his audience on a journey from modern HipHop such as TRAP, to Electro to Caribbean sounds such as Soca, Reggae-Fusion, and the music of his Haitian origins; kompa. As for the lyrics, they tend to dive into various themes to explore the emotions attached to them, while sharing FLO’s aspirations, his perspective, and throwing a bit of light on his personal life. His music transcends and captivates multiple audiences, Anglophones and Francophones, young and old alike. FLO strongly believes that variety is the spice of life, so adding color and nuance to his music simply provides his audience with a wider range of sounds and emotions.  

Music on the Canal

Let us provide the soundtrack as you walk, run, bike or rollerblade along the canal. Every Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon, members of the NAC Orchestra or a popular band will play aboard our showboat as it cruises the Rideau.  

The concert will begin at the Paul’s Boat Line docks located on the Rideau Canal outside the NAC, under the Rideau Street Bridge. The boat will arrive at Lansdowne Park approximately 45 minutes later and then return back. The entire trip is 90 minutes, and the concert will take place on the boat while it is moving.  

Tips and tricks for enjoying Music on the Canal 

We recommend you find a spot along the canal, not at the starting point at the NAC, where you will be able to hear the boat as it approaches and then continues down the canal. 

Bring a picnic to your favourite canal side spot and enjoy the music as it passes by. 

If you want more than a glimpse, you can cycle along to keep up as the boat moves faster than a walking pace.
