Cano

CANO, a Canadian folk rock and progressive rock band from Sudbury, Ontario, was formed in 1975. The group included André Paiement, Rachel Paiement, Wasyl Kohut, Marcel Aymar, David Burt, Michel Kendel, John Doerr, and Michel Dasti. CANO began performing traditional Canadian-French folk songs and original material, releasing their debut album Tous dans l'même bateau in 1976. Their third album, Eclipse, included English songs and marked a shift in their musical direction. The band achieved significant success in Quebec and France, with notable airplay for tracks like "Rendezvous" and "Eclipse". Tragedy struck when André Paiement committed suicide in 1978, followed by Wasyl Kohut's sudden death in 1981. Despite these losses, CANO continued to release albums, including Spirit of the North in 1980 and Visible in 1984, before disbanding. Posthumously, their music was recognized with compilations like The Best of/Les Meilleurs succès, released by Universal Music Canada in 2003.
