According to Simon Proulx, the singer of the three agreements, the idea of a collaboration between the group and heart of Pirate Marine for several years already, but it was Béatrice Martin who relaunched them last year. “She wrote to me by saying” We do it? It would be cool “, and we left like that”.
This is the second time that the quartet has cooperated with another artist on his albums. The first time was with Renée Martel on their opus I love your grandmotherreleased in 2012. They had sang together On the lake edge.

Jérôme 50, Jay Scott, Souldia, Claudia Bouvette, Talk, Quebec Redneck Bluegrass Project and many others will also be in Drummondville next week.
Festival-goers with hollow bellies will be able to rely on the 10 Poutiniers meticulously chosen by the bass player of the three agreements, Pierre-Luc Boisvert, to fill the paunch duly. “I think that [Pierre-Luc Boisvert] Taste all Poutines du Québec. Each year, he goes around […]. Everyone is very jealous of their post, ”noted Mr. Proulx.
