Canadian music
Songs from up north
Canadian music encompasses the musical traditions and contemporary output of Canada, spanning Indigenous songs, French-Canadian folk, and the country's substantial contributions to rock, pop, hip-hop, and country.
The term often appears in discussions of cultural policy and national identity: Canadian content regulations require radio stations to play a percentage of Canadian music.
