November 7, 2021, the 43rd Gala ADISQ Awards took place, hosted by comedian Louis-José Houde. This year’s awards were fantastic, and there was a sense of normalcy, or something close to it, as it took place at the Denise-Pelletier Theatre. Louis-José Houde did an excellent job hosting the show, and the musicians performed remarkably.
Congratulations to all the winners of the 43rd Gala ADISQ Awards.
