I rewrote the biography section of this article.

The original biography follows, if for some reason you want to revert to it, here it is:

Once Desjardins pursued a solo career he puts together an album at once poetic and classic, where his words takes-off with each piano key as writer, composer, performer. His album Les derniers humains is finally launched in 1987, since all the copies are soled rapidly Desjardins starts to compose new songs to put out a second album. Recorded at the historic Bon-Pasteur Chappell in Montreal Tu m’aimes-tu is completed in 1990 and soled 125 000 copies to this day.

1990 marks Desjardins career turning point. The movie Le Party (from Pierre Falardeau), witch he had composed the music has a tremendous success. Quebec city summer Festival attributes him the mirror of the French song prise, the l’ADISQ gala of 1991 discerns him the “ writer composer of the year” and “pop album of the year” prises. Desjardins is then invited to perform in Frances capital and lunches a Quebec tour. Out of these series comes the Richard Desjardins au Club Soda live album, witch includes numerous new songs, monologs and a few titles from his Abbittibbi years. After having produced his solo show about 450 times in Quebec and in Europe, he renews with the Abbittibbi group and produces the album Chaude était la nuit and a live album.

With his friend Robert Mondrie he then decides to tackle the deforestation controversy by conducting an extensive investigation for a documentary. The movie L’erreur boréal is distributed four years later, it aroused many questions about the ways of the official management and made clear that the Quebec forests is in a critical situation. The documentary won many prises. During that time Desjardin works on a tired solo album titled Boom Boom, lunched in 1998.

In the year 2000 Desjardins moves to France where he performs regularly in rural areas. At his return in Canada he tours alone with his guitar and works on his eight album Kanasuta. Kanasuta is a native word meaning “where the devils go to dance”, it is the name of a forest that was saved by the Action Boréal organism that went thought the process. Desjardins is well known for his environmental activism, witch makes his music vivid and interesting to listen.

I edited out his support for Quebec separatism. He was never a staunch supporter of it and, in a very recent interview, he even denounced it. Phonono 13:26, 2 October 2006 (EST)
