From her beginnings, DENISE BOMBARDIER (1941-2023) was employed by CBC as a researcher and journalist-correspondent. Since 1975, she animated her own TV programs of current events. She also wrote articles for various publications. As a journalist, she sought to debate ideas. If her positions sometimes caused controversy, everyone recognized her outspokenness and her mastery of the language. Over the years, she wrote about twenty novels and essays. She also starred in a few movies and TV series. In France, Mrs. Bombardier has been twice decorated with the Legion of Honor for the quality of her works. On the day of her funeral, the Quebec flag was flown at half-mast. We saluted the committed feminist and the fervent defender of the French language and of Quebec. This woman of Heart and Mind interviewed Nana three times in Paris.

BONHOMME CARNAVAL (1954- ) is the mascot of Quebec Winter Carnival, the largest winter festival in the world. He’s a living replica of the snowman who cheers up winter’s children wearing a red bonnet and the traditional French Canadian ceinture fléchée. Nana passed him during her first visit in the capital in 1967 and he made her laugh. Bonhomme is considered a real personality. He makes official gestures and speaks on behalf of Carnival.

Between two radio careers, JACQUES BOULANGER (1939- ) won fame as a singer and host on television. Nana owes him her very first televised concert in Canada in 1969. Boubou, as several call him, hosted her four times on his Sunday evening programs: "Zoom", "Monsieur B" and "Superstar" and even sang duets with her.

Thanks to her mother, ISABELLE BOULAY (1972- ) grew up with the songs of Nana Mouskouri and Mireille Mathieu. Her love for the big songwriters influenced her musical choices from the first festivals which introduced her to Quebec at the beginning of the 1990’s. After formidable record sales on both sides of the Atlantic and a multitude of prizes praising her talents of singer, within a few years, Isabelle Boulay became a sure value of French-speaking music. Nana admires her for her voice and her sincerity. Since their first meeting, Isabelle has covered several of her songs.

Through the years, PIERRE BOURQUE (1942- ), trained as a horticulturist, saw his projects contributing to the embellishment of the metropolis. His desire to concretize his vision of Montreal led him to launch out into municipal politics by founding his own party. He was the 40th town mayor from 1994 to 2001. He attended some of Nana’s concerts and even invited her to sign the golden book of the city.

Initially a singer, then actress in several TV series, films and theatre, FRANCE CASTEL (1944- ) constitutes an important figure of the Quebec Arts community since 1967. Thanks to her wide life experience, she excels in her new role of hostess. She once disguised herself as Nana for a sketch. She also interviewed her for the TV show "Deux filles le matin".

Since the song "Lindberg", that he sang with Louise Forestier in the show L’Osstidcho in 1968, his music became an essential element in the entire Francophonie. With ROBERT CHARLEBOIS (1944- ), we witnessed the birth of a new world of song made up of texts using slang, and musical arrangements half way between rock'n'roll and jazz. For a long time, Nana knew of the repertoire of this composer-songwriter, musician and singer, category "rocker", whose name appears in the Larousse Dictionary.

FRANÇOIS CHARTIER (1964- ) is a sommelier by trade since 1989. With his conferences, his chronical in the press, on the radio, on the television and on Internet, he contributes to the development of a little-known field in Quebec. His works are published in several countries and become bestsellers. His curiosity to understand the harmony between wine and dish leads him in 2013 to launch his range of wines. The same year, he shares the same television set than Nana. She hears the interview with interest since her husband is part of a family of wine producers. Before and after the TV program, they get to know each other better. François is happy to meet her and tells her that he was rocked by her songs. Nana also enjoys chatting with him about the profession of sommelier.

Discovered during a TV contest in 1966, CHRISTYNE CHARTRAND (1948- ) chose romantic ballads and recorded four consecutive albums. After some trips in France, she pursues her singing career at her pace and diversifies her artistic activities with television hosting and summer theatre. Christyne recorded new albums, gave concerts and revealed herself as songwriter. Her performances at Casino de Montreal, in 2006 and 2009, showed her capacity to sing complete repertories. If we had to seek a Quebec singer whose style and voice are the most similar to Nanas, many would undoubtedly mention Christyne Chartrand for her reserve in her gestures and her way of singing.
