Loco Locass




Loco Locass was created in 1995. It is a Hip Hop group from Quebec.

They defends the French language in Quebec, and they are champions Quebec sovereignty.

Chafiik of Loco Locass signed a campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israeli apartheid on February 25th 2010. He wasn’t the only one; there are 500 others artists who signed. [1]

Loco Locass supported the students who are protesting against the Quebec Liberal government. The cause was that this government was converting 103 million of dollars in bursary fundinf to loans. The group created the song “Casse du 24” to support the students who have to deal with the police regression.

The Loco Locass’ group have a self-image of a vehicle promoting the sovereignty option for the Quebec. This image was built by a lot of event they made. For example, the “St-Jean Concert” was a concert they made with “Les Comboys Fringants” and the show marked the government-designated Quebec National Holiday. This take place at Montreal, they produced in the Parc Jean-Drapeau. This happens in 2005.

Loco Locass also created the song “Libérez nous des Libéraux” to demonstrate their opinion on the sovereignty of Quebec.[2]
