Acclaimed for its joyful and dynamic performances, Le Vent du Nord is a driving force of the Quebec progressive folk movement, as well as a leading group in the revival of traditional music in Quebec. Since its founding in 2002, it has performed more than 2,400 concerts on four continents, released 13 albums and received numerous prestigious awards, including a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros (France), and two Juno (Canadian Grammy) awards. The group, composed of Nicolas Boulerice, André Brunet, Réjean Brunet, Olivier Demers, and André Gagné, performs a vast repertoire of works from the traditional repertoire and original compositions on vocals, fiddle, accordion, hurdy-gurdy, bouzouki, guitar, and keyboards. Its highly rhythmic and soulful music, rooted in the Celtic diaspora, is enhanced with a broad range of global influences. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the quintet revisits the highlights of its repertoire in a show designed to get the crowd on their feet, featuring brand new arrangements.
