Do americans know about Quebec music?

Question

Hi,

I'm a Quebecois who is fascinated by American culture. I very much enjoy travelling in your country even though I often disagree with your current administration.

I was wondering if Americans know about Quebec music and culture (beyond stereotypes that is)? There's a wealth of great Quebec Music both in French and English and I'm wondering why it is so hard for Quebec artists to be succesful in the U.S.A?

Do you think it's mostly a language issue?

If it's a language difference, does that mean that Americans don't enjoy music when it's in French? (I enjoy a lot of american bands even though my mother tongue is French).

I'd be really interested in hearing an American perspective on this issue.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. Many of us Quebecois are actually not proud at all to have Celine Dion as our most famous representative.

You really mean it?!? They really have Music in Quebec? How long has this been going on and why has no one mentioned it to me before this?
