Source-derived summary

Hart-Rouge are a Canadian folk music group, consisting of siblings Paul Campagne, Michelle Campagne, and Suzanne Campagne.

Originally from Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan, the Campagne family are among the most notable Fransaskois personalities in Canada. Hart-Rouge was the original name of their hometown. The three previously recorded and performed with several other family members as Folle Avoine, the French name for the common wild oat, and formed Hart-Rouge with another sibling, Annette Campagne, when that band ended. During their music career, they were based at first in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and later in Montreal, Quebec.

The band performs traditional folk songs and original material in both English and French. They have also recorded some material in Canadian First Nations languages.

Annette left the band in the mid-1990s, with the band continuing as a trio with collaborating session musicians.

Connections

Their sister Carmen Campagne, who had been a member of Folle Avoine, also continued a career in music, performing independently as a children's entertainer. Their father, Émile Campagne, has also released two albums of traditional folk songs.

Editorial summary

“Hart-Rouge” enters the record as canadian musical group. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Hart-Rouge, Canadian and musical can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 174-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1986. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Hart-Rouge, Canadian and musical.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Hart-Rouge” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Hart-Rouge, Canadian and musical provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3127968. VIAF identifies the subject as 146202551. The Library of Congress control number is n2005075381. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
