Abstract
The following article focusses on the songs of Montreal-based Acadian hip hop group Radio Radio, as well as on how they are received in Québec. It investigates Radio Radio’s contribution to the evolution of the Québec language debate. The article hypothesizes that an ongoing shift in language ideology is changing the power dynamics between Québec and Acadie, unsettling the established hierarchy which makes Québec the definer of the artistic and cultural norm that prevails for both collectivities. Radio Radio has taken advantage of, and contributed to this shift. From one album to the next, the group has performatively imposed a festive take on language contact that competes with the preexisting view of it as inherently deadly for francophone minorities. As its presence increased on the Québec music scene, so did new connotations for language mixing. These new connotations have been met at times with enthusiasm and at times with disapproval; but in both cases, they are now part of Québec’s discourse on language.
