Épisode 07 - Huu Bac Quach (Francais)
Huu Bac Quach a 42 ans, est né au Vietnam, est arrivé à Montréal à 2 ans et a grandi à Valleyfield. En plus de parler 5 langues, il est compositeur, interprète et multi-instrumentiste.
Comme nous le dit si bien Huu Bac, “on a autant de coeurs que de langues qu’on parle.”
Plutôt que de discuter de ce que signifie être asiatique, il parle de relier les différents mondes qui le composent: d’être humain. Nous avons parlé du flot inhérent de nos identités et de l’accumulation des expériences qui nous complètent.
