Le Vent du Nord at Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2017

[@ericst-laurent8161]

C’est gars là font le tour du monde depuis des années en faisants connaître la culture Québécoise partout où ils passent. Ils mérite selon moi l’ordre national du Québec!

[@klaus-rogerbenuar3687]

En fait, je suis tombé sur le groupe sur You Tube purement par hasard, mais je les ai rapidement pris dans mon cœur musical, ils font de la bonne musique et le contenu de beaucoup de leurs chansons est comme une leçon pour nous étrangers, ils se stimulent avec la vie et s'occuper de l'histoire de leur pays.

Not only do I already love Quebecois music, I love these guys even more! I started with La Bottine Souriante, and then stumbled upon Le Vent Du Nord! Absolutely fantastic! I have 4 of their albums!

[@philipperousseau457]

I didnt bow those groups were known outside of Québec its always nice to know

[@viroflay]

You should give a try to Genticorum, another great band from Québec !

[@petercooper6546]

I agree absolutely full heartedly

[@fredsewhitezxx1549]

A man of culture I see.. No more seriously it's nice to see people giving our music a chance without insta shitting on Quebec.

[@yanickcharbonneau2782]

J'ai trainé mes pénates partout, mais la culture québécoise, à mes yeux, est brillante !

[@1polonium210]

This is like home to me. I grew up southern Louisiana (Lafayette/Opelousas). I heard music like this for many years.

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

This is the envy even of France, which no longer has meaningful music in the French language.

[@artm1973]

@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq That's so sad to hear from someone brought up on Edith Piaf, Yves Montand and others.

[@matthias.hess1]

Vive Quebec et vive Le Vent du Nord!

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

The French-Canadian resistance to total acculturation to the English language is an example of Latin independence.

[@madeleinereads]

Every time I listen to this kind of music I feel more closer to my Québécois heritage. ❤

Tiene mucho sentido porque el flamenco es muy rítmico como esta musica franco-canadiense. Estuve en Montréal, y me sentí tan latino como en cualquier cultura latina de Europa o Latinoamérica.

Members of the band, if you read this: Thank you so, so much. You guys truly embody and emit the tunes, feelings and the beat.

[@Dr_Do-Little]

Watching people the other side of the Atlantic dance to these guys while they are barely known here in their homeland Québec make me cry.

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

Visit Montréal one day and you will feel how Latin their culture really is, just like in France, Spain, or Italy.

[@Dr_Do-Little]

@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq lol... I live in Montréal. I know. 😏

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

@@Dr_Do-Little I loved Montréal when I visited it. It made me feel Latin, which here in the US I do not feel.

[@gillianbarnes7149]

Love these guys. Superb musicians and their a Capella singing is just brilliant. Seen them a few times. Can't quite understand the Quebecois French sometimes but that doesn't matter. The guy with hurdygurdy is Nicolas Boularice. Fiddle Olivier Demers, accordion Rëjean Brunet, guitar Simon Beaudry. Réjean's brother Andre is now with them. He plays fiddle . I am hooked!

[@annemarieparent3808]

*Boulerice (not Boularice). I am glad you like this fantastic Québec band! Very proud of them indeed!

[@westoeden]

Le Vent du Nord, one of the few ways I can revel in my Québécois heritage.

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

We the West's Latins are a big extended family. I visited Montréal years ago and in spite of my basic French (I am a native Spanish speaker) I felt totally at home culturally speaking. I wish I have had more time to learn French but learning English at the college level has been a full-time job for me.

[@artm1973]

@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq Interesting, it is sort of between worlds. I had an interesting conversation about 5 years back with my cousin and her boyfriend just outside Montreal, both perfectly fluent in French and English, so they easily mixed words in both. They traveled in Europe a lot but said they always felt like outsiders compared to when they traveled in the US. Culturally they felt closer to Americans. "We're North Americans." Not sure if it's bad, good or neither, but it was interesting.

[@Dr_Do-Little]

"Jawstine Troudeau"... Gotta love that "inside".

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

I love French-Canadian music from my fellow Latins the French Canadians. Here an American born in Argentina, I also love the French language but I have been too busy learning the world's lingua franca English to have time for French.

[@Massachusetts01]

I saw them perform last night in Boston at the MFA. They never fail to disappoint. Their music makes me happy. Chair dance through the entire show. Saw them for the first time at the Lowell Folk Festival and have seen them every time they come to Boston. Love these musicians!

[@dougallee7066]

Never succeed in disappointing?

[@christ6493]

I love that Quebec foot stomping - I know how to do, it but only for one song then the leg muscles give up!

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

It is amazing, isn't it?

[@averagechick1921]

Have been listening to this on repeat all day at work. So grateful to have found these guys. It's wonderful they keep this more traditional music alive. Thank you for posting!

[@ordyhorizonrivieredunord712]

Ô mon pays c'est un chant que j'entend sur le vent. Ô mon pays c'est un cri vers l'infini sur la vie🌹

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

Being a fluent Spanish-speaker, I have little trouble understanding what they sing. Also, when I visited Montréal years ago I loved people's willingness to speak to me in Spanish rather than English, this as a courtesy.

Passants, prenez pitié de ma misère Soulage-moi, je suis un pauvre enfant J'ai faim, j'ai soif, lorsqu'on n'a plus de mère Oh que la vie est un fardeau pesant Elle n'est plus cette mère si bonne Me voilà seul errant sur le chemin Je tends la main, rarement l'on me donne Un peu de pain pour apaiser ma faim Lorsque la nuit, sa longue robe grise Éclipse au loin le doux azur des cieux Sous un feuillage agité par la brise Vers le passé, je rejette les yeux Je la revois cette mère si bonne Je crois encore reposer sur son sein Je veux parler, mon coeur a cru l'entendre Mais l'écho seul répond à l'orphelin Par le soleil a paru d'la lumière Je sors tremblant de mon réduit poudreux Au Tout-Puissant j'adresse une prière Quand j'ai prié, je suis moins malheureux Je songe au ciel, au bonheur de l'innocence Où règne Dieu, le Père du faible monde En lui j'espère, il gagnera mes souffrances C'est un bon Père, il aime l'orphelin
