SUMMARY:Le Vent du Nord at The Word Barn Meadow
DESCRIPTION:The award winning and highly acclaimed band Le Vent du Nord is a leading force in Quebec’s progressive francophone folk movement. The group’s vast repertoire draws from both traditional sources and original compositions\, while enhancing it’s hard-driving soulful music (rooted in the Celtic diaspora) with a broad range of global influences. \nSince its inception in August 2002\, Le Vent du Nord has enjoyed meteoric success\, performing well over 2\,000 concerts over 4 continents and racking up several prestigious awards\, including a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros\, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys)\, a Félix at ADISQ\, a Canadian Folk Music Award\, and “Artist of the Year” at the North American Folk Alliance Annual Gala. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT LE VENT DU NORD\nWEBSITE | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | SPOTIFY\nFeaturing button accordion\, guitar and fiddle\, the band’s sound is defined by the hurdy-gurdy\, which adds an earthy\, rough-hewn flavor to even the most buoyant dance tunes. — Boston Herald \nThe group exhibits great finesse and flexibility\, appearing regularly on Canadian\, American\, French\, and UK television and radio\, and participating in a wide variety of special musical projects. They’ve collaborated and performed with a diverse range of artists including: Harry Manx\, Väsen\, Dervish\, The Chieftains\, Breton musical pioneer Yann-Fañch Kemener\, Québecois roots legend and master storyteller Michel Faubert\, the Scottish folk band Breabach\, singer Julie Fowlis\, and the trans-Mediterranean ensemble Constantinople. \nNot content with standard approaches to tradition\, Le Vent du Nord has also created a symphonic concert that\, according to Voir Montreal\, “puts all traditional folk naysayers to shame.” \nOn stage these 5 musicians create intense\, joyful and dynamic live performances that expand the bounds of tradition in striking global directions. This is the modern sound of tradition\, a music of the here and now. \n“A classy & rousing set by Quebec Folk heroes” – 4 STARS – THE GUARDIAN \n“Leave a positive feelgood feeling all over the body .” – LIRA MAGAZINE \n“Exceptionally skilled\, exceptionally experienced\, and exceptionally entertaining”. – SING OUT! \n“Sur toute la ligne\, 53 minutes de pur bonheur. EXCELLENT. ” JOURNAL DE QUÉBEC \n“Québec couldn’t hope for better advocates of its folk music . Top of the world selection.” – SONGLINE MAGAZINE \nTop Ten Folk Albums of 2009 – BOSTON GLOBE \nTop Ten International Albums of 2009 – LOS ANGELES TIME
