Le Grand Bleu

Le Grand Bleu is a track by the Indian fusion band The Bluerunners, released as the fourth track on their live album recorded at the Festival d’été de Québec 2001. The album appeared under the Bell label on July 15, 2021, in CD format. The composition spans 5 minutes and 18 seconds.

The Bluerunners performed the track during their set at the 2001 edition of the Festival d’été de Québec, a major annual music festival in Quebec City, Canada. The recording captures the band’s blend of Indian classical elements with contemporary fusion styles. The album’s release in 2021 marked a delayed publication of the 2001 live performance, though specific production details or additional contributing artists remain undocumented.

The track title Le Grand Bleu translates to \"The Big Blue\" in English, possibly referencing thematic or stylistic influences tied to the band’s repertoire. The Bluerunners, known for their cross-genre experimentation, incorporated traditional Indian instruments and rhythmic structures into the performance. No further information exists about the track’s lyrical content, composition process, or reception at the time of the festival.

The 2021 CD release under Bell included the full Festival d’été de Québec 2001 set, with Le Grand Bleu positioned as the fourth entry. The album’s liner notes, if present, do not appear in publicly accessible records. The Bluerunners’ discography outside this release remains partially cataloged, with limited documentation on their broader work in Indian classical fusion.
