Bus/Financial - Music / Profile of a female candidate for a business award

French term or phrase: défoncer de nouveaux marchés

This is a profile of a woman entrepreneur in Canada. She runs a company specializing in managing and promoting the careers of francophone musical performers. "Nous avons défoncé de nouveaux marchés pour l'industrie de la musique francophone canadienne qui ont permis à nos artistes de connaître un succès international."

Perhaps something along these lines: "we have worked tirelessly to open up new markets for Canadian francophone music..."

TIA

agree

sodamnlogical: I like broken into, as "défoncer" is quite a strong word in French :-)// Actually, I myself find the use of défoncer a little odd in this context...

2 mins

-> Thanks, Sandra! That's kind of the way I saw it too, but I wasn't sure of the register, not being a native speaker.

agree

Rita Heller: broke into

40 mins

-> Thanks, Rita!

agree

Vaughn: Not sure if all Canadiens are défoncés? "Broken" seems like a good choice, but I wonder if there might be a play on words going on? These kind of speeches are sometimes joke-ridden. Some Canadian input would be useful.

1 hr

-> Thanks, Vaughn! // I did wonder, but it's beyond my level... At any rate, suggests to me quite a degree of 'aggressiveness' in their approach...
