Le Vent du Nord

High-energy Quebecois music
Location: Quebec

Le Vent du Nord brings everything you want from authentic Quebecois music. Gorgeous acapella songs? Check. Absolutely cracking dance tunes? Yep. Exuberant virtuosity? Mais oui. This acclaimed band is a leading force in Quebec’s progressive francophone folk movement, and its impressive repertoire draws from traditional sources and original compositions. Its hard-driving, soulful sound features button accordion, guitar, and fiddle, but the hurdy-gurdy gives the group its “earthy, rough-hewn flavor” (Boston Herald). The group’s intense, joyful live performances are unforgettable. Every Le Vent du Nord set flies by. Make sure you catch one.

Presented in partnership with the IU Department of French and Italian.
