Okoumé was a Quebec based folk-rock band from 1995 to 2002.

History

The group was formed in 1995 and originally consisted only of founding members Jonathan and Éloi Painchaud, Michael Duguay, Hugo Perreault, and Éric Gosselin. They received the first prize in French canadian radio station CKOY-FM's "Le concours Pro-Scène" ("Pro-Scene Contest"), which yielded them one hundred hours in a recording studio. They were also the opening act for noted French Canadian singer-songwriter Kevin Parent.

Their eponymous first album was released in 1997. Four tracks from the album (Dis-moi pas ça, La lune pleure, Le bruit des origines, and La mer à boire) placed in weekly Top Ten rankings, with Le bruit des origines ranking at number in CKOI-FM's Top 50 of 1998 and La mer à boire ranking at number 24 the following year.[1]

Okoumé released their second album, Plan B, in 2000. The album failed to capture the interest of the public, so the group decided to disband in 2002[2].
