Product Description:
As heard on NPR radio's Morning Edition, Acclaimed Québec band Le Vent du Nord release Dans les airs music that is fresh, yet bound to tradition. With an original repertoire, the group regularly moves crowds to dance to the sounds of the fiddle and hurdy-gurdy. Innovative traditional music from Québec!

Rating: - Purchased as a gift
The person I gave it to says he likes the music and thanked me for the introduction to a new band.
Rating: - Almost as good as seeing them live
Every time I listened to this album I remember seeing Le Vent du Nord live.
I discovered them at the Sebastopol Celtic Festival. The positive energy level in the room was amazing!

****1/2: Even though this, the band's third recording, does not quite measure up to their previous effort, mainly because of the nature of the songs, it is still wonderful. The pieces are sung as call and response in harmony, with delightful arrangements and musicianship. The traditional Celtic Acadian reels and dances, performed chiefly on accordian, fiddle, guitar, piano, and that peculiar instrument, the hurdy-gurdy, make for happy, foot-tapping listening. Hard work and archival study was put in to ... Read More
Rating: - la joie de vie
this third album from le vent du nord is as lovely, rousing, and addictive as their last two. anyone who has seen them play live this past year will hear some familiar tunes and also be happy to finally hear rejean's contribution in the studio.
the songs complement as well as add a fresh sound to their current body of work. olivier's fiddle playing rises to the fore as it is always beautiful, sometimes heart breakingly so. nicolas' and simon's voices are as wonderful as ever and full of emotion, ... Read More
