Alaclair Ensemble is a Canadian hip hop musical collective.〔("Alaclair Ensemble rewrites history through hip hop" ). ''The Gazette'', July 14, 2014.〕 The band's concept is based around an alternate history in which the Patriotes won the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1838 to create the imaginary nation of Bas-Canada, and their musical style draws on traditional Québécois folk music as well as contemporary hip hop and electronic music.〔 In the band's Bas-Canada mythology, the nation suffers none of the linguistic tensions between anglophones and francophones that exist in contemporary Quebec and Canadian society, and the band performs lyrics in both languages.〔 The group consists of rappers Robert "Ogden" Nelson and Maybe Watson, rapper and producer Ken-Lo Croqnote, and musicians Claude Bégin, Eman, Vlooper and Mash.〔 Although based principally in Montreal, Quebec, some band members reside in Quebec City or Toronto.〔 Like other hip hop collectives, the members also release music with their own side projects in addition to their collaborations as a band.〔 The group's 2013 album ''Les maigres blancs d'Amérique du Noir'', whose title is a satirical pun on Pierre Vallières' controversial Quebec sovereignty manifesto ''Les nègres blancs d'Amérique du Nord'', was a longlisted nominee for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.〔("Polaris Music Prize Unveils 2013 Long List" ). ''Exclaim!'', June 13, 2012.〕 Their follow-up album, ''Toute est impossible'', was released in 2014.〔("Alaclair Ensemble dévoile une pochette « très conservatrice » pour Tout est impossible" ).
