Brault et Fréchette is a Quebec folk duo founded in 1976. The duo consists of Manuel Brault on guitars, mandolin, piano and vocals. Jean-Pierre Fréchette on flute, harmonica and clarinet. In the mid-1970s, the Quebec music scene was undergoing a folk revival. The meeting of a young songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist specializing in wind instruments would give Quebec a duo that would mark the rest of the decade. The duo drew attention to themselves with their original folk revival repertoire. Less than a year after their meeting, they were back at the famous Studio Six, recording songs for a debut album for the London label. The album Pour l'Amitié was released in 1977. A first single was launched with the song Le "Reel du Retour". The song was well received and received regular radio play. It was with their 2nd album, Retenir le Temps, that the duo scored a huge hit with the song "Les P'tits Coeurs", a true classic of 1978. The following year, a 3rd album entitled Brault et Fréchette was released. The last event in this musical adventure was the song "Vivre et aimer vivre". This last joint recording by the two musicians appeared on the compilation album Bilan in 1980.
