Had to check the notes to see who else was playing fiddle. Laura’s versatility is astonishing, combined with superb skills from her friends. Not going to choose a favourite track until another ten plays, if then. Please don’t make us wait two decades for more. kinfan
Les archives de trames canadiennes françaises anciennes fin 1940 présentées par Cédric Dind-Lavoie (https://cornedebrume.bandcamp.com/album/archives-c-dric-dind-lavoie) m'ont mis l'eau à la bouche pour ouïr du bon trad queb de l'ici et maintenant. Genticorum nous présentent un album 2023 décoré de turlutes, de podorythmies, de chants en coeur et d'harmonies acoustiques. Et comme toujours il est d'une écoute entraînante désarmante de ravissements, de bonheurs et de trouvailles agréables. Maison Planàterre
