ON AUGUST 15, ALL OF ACADIE WILL ECHO WITH THE SOUND OF THE CMA 2004
\nTHEME SONG<\/p>\n
Halifax, August 14, 2003 – At the stroke of midnight on August 15, Acadian National Holiday, all of Acadie will have the opportunity to hear, for the very first time, the Congr\u00e8s mondial acadien 2004 (CMA 2004) theme song:<\/p>\n
Je reviens au berceau de l\u2019Acadie.<\/p>\n
The song, which literally means, \u201cI\u2019m returning to the cradle of Acadia\u201d, is sung by Nova Scotia\u2019s own Grand D\u00e9rangement and features New Brunswick singer Carole Daigle. Michel Thibault, Artistic Director for the group, is responsible for writing the lyrics and music.
\nOver 600 media from Canada, France, Louisiana and the New England States have received a copy of the CD and will hopefully broadcast the song for their listeners. \u201cWe\u2019re hoping the song will be heard simultaneously throughout the world. With only one year until Congr\u00e8s, the song will create a unique momentum, kicking off the official countdown to the event\u201d, explains Vaughne Madden, General Manager for CMA 2004.
\nJe reviens au berceau de l\u2019Acadie invites Acadians and friends of Acadians from around the world to return to Nova Scotia, the cradle of Acadian culture. The song is a celebration and a renewal of Acadian pride. It is also a tribute to the glorious homecoming scheduled for next year.
\nThe public is invited to download the song free of charge on the CMA 2004 website, www.cma2004.com. \u201cThe song does not belong to Congr\u00e8s mondial acadien 2004, it belongs to each and every Acadian. This is why we chose to offer the song at no cost to anyone who wishes to download it from our site\u201d adds Ms. Madden.
\nGreater Halifax residents will have the opportunity to witness the first live performance of the song during the Grou Tyme Acadian Festival scheduled for September 18, 2003. Grand D\u00e9rangement will release their latest album on which Je reviens au berceau de l\u2019Acadie is among the compilation.
\nThe production of the theme song, as well as a promotional video, is made possible by funds from Canadian Heritage and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
