1755 (pronounced "seventeen fifty-five") is an Acadian band formed by Kenneth Saulnier, Pierre Robichaud, Roland Gauvin, Donald Boudreau and Ronald Dupuis. The band was named after the Great Deportation of 1755, during which Acadians were deported from Acadia (present day Maritimes), and was active from 1975 to 1984. After they broke up, every member of the band went on to work on solo albums, or joined new bands such as Les Méchants Maquereaux.
