The award-winning and highly acclaimed band Le Vent du Nord is a leading force in Québec’s exciting and progressive Francophone folk movement. The group’s vast repertoire draws from both traditional sources and original compositions, while their highly rhythmic and soulful music, rooted in the Celtic diaspora, is enhanced with a broad range of global influences.
Le Vent du Nord look beyond the standard approaches to tradition in their collaborations and they’ve also created a symphonic concert that, according to Voir Montreal, “puts all traditional folk naysayers to shame.”
On stage, these five friends; Nicolas Boulerice, André Brunet, Réjean Brunet, Olivier Demers, and André Gagné create intense, joyful and dynamic live performances that go beyond the bounds of tradition in striking global directions. This is the modern sound of tradition, the music of the here and now.
