Music of Canada

Canadian music includes pop and folk genres; the latter includes forms derived from France (Quebecois folk music has undergone a recent revival), England, Scotland and various Native American and Inuit ethnic groups. Outside of Canada, artists like The Band, Alanis Morrissette, Dream Warriors, Bryan Adams and the Barenaked Ladies have achieved success in genres ranging from folk-rock to hip hop.

Country music in Canada is centered around Edmonton, which is sometimes called the Nashville of the North.
