<p>Over the past decade, the traditional Quebec group Genticorum (<b>Pascal Gemme</b>, <b>Alexandre de Grosbois-Garand</b> and <b>Yann Falquet</b>) has become a fixture on the international world, folk and Celtic music circuit. Firmly rooted in the musical soil of their home, this energetic and original ‘power trio’ also incorporates the dynamism of today’s North American and European folk cultures into their music. They weave precise and intricate fiddle and flute, gorgeous harmonies, energetic foot percussion, guitar and bass accompaniment into a big and jubilant sound. Onstage, their sense of humour and stage presence makes them a supreme crowd-pleaser.</p>
<p><strong>Au cours des dix dernières années, </strong>le trio québécois traditionnel Genticorum (<b>Pascal Gemme</b>, <b>Alexandre de Grosbois-Garand</b> et <b>Yann Falquet</b>) est devenu incontournable sur le circuit de la musique internationale, folk et celtique. Fermement ancré dans son sol natal, ce trio à l’énergie brute originale intègre le dynamisme des cultures folk nord-américaine et européenne à sa musique traditionnelle. Conjuguant un violon au jeu précis et complexe à une flûte légère, de superbes harmonies et une podorythmie fougueuse sur accompagnements de guitare et de basse, les trois compères produisent un son envoutant. Leur présence sur scène et leur sens de l’humour ravissent tous les publics.</p>

<p>Two families and two generations of players come together in this vivacious “dandelion” salad of music, freshly harvested from the gardens of five creative musicians from Lanaudière. While traditional in nature, <strong>Dentdelion</strong>plays tunes full of bright ideas, often composing new versions of old songs or inventing original music to go with traditional lyrics. Dentdelion is <strong>Claude Méthé </strong>(Quebec: <em>violin, guitar, vocals),</em><strong>Dana Whittle </strong>(New England: <em>guitar, vocals, foot percussion, accordion, harmonica</em><i>)</i>, <strong>Denise Levac </strong>(Quebec: <em>lute, </em><em>vocals</em>), <strong>Colin Savoie-Levac </strong>(Denise’s son: <em>banjo, mandolin, guitar, </em><em>foot percussion</em><em>, vocal</em><em>s</em><em>) and</em> <strong>Béatrix Méthé </strong>(Claude and Dana’s daughter: <em>violin, </em><em>vocals</em><em>).</em></p>
<p>Deux familles et deux générations de cinq musiciens créatifs de Lanaudière produisent une véritable salade musicale, fraîchement récoltée de leurs jardins personnels. Dentdelion (du nom qu’on donnait jadis au pissenlit) possède un répertoire traditionnel débordant d’originalité, en composant de nouvelles versions d’airs de l’ancien temps et des mélodies inédites pour accompagner des paroles traditionnelles. Le groupe est composé de <strong>Claude Méthé </strong>(Québec : <em>violon, guitare, voix),</em><strong>Dana Whittle </strong>(Nouvelle-Angleterre : <em>guitare, voix, podorythmie, accordéon, harmonica</em><i>)</i>, <strong>Denise Levac </strong>(Québec : <em>luth, voix</em>), <strong>Colin Savoie-Levac </strong>(fils de Denise : <em>banjo, mandoline, guitare, podorythmie, voix) et </em><strong>Béatrix Méthé </strong>(fille de Claude et de Dana : <em>violon, voix).</em></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Les Poules à Colin </b></span></p>
<p>Lanaudière is known round the world as Québec‘s most musical region. There, traditional music is all around and passed down through generations – as it has for Les Poules à Colin, four young gals and a guy named Colin whose group name comes from a traditional song (in English, “Colin’s Hens”). They perform a sparkling, diversified bilingual repertoire of intimate waltzes, reels and beautifully sung call-and-response songs. The group is <b>Éléonore Pitre</b> (guitar, vocals), <b>Sarah Marchand</b> (vocals, piano, guitar, bodhrán), <b>Colin Savoie-Levac</b> (strings, foot percussion, vocals), <b>Béatrix Méthé</b> (violin, vocals), and <b>Marie Savoie-Levac</b> (piano, bass, vocals).</p>
<p>Lanaudière s&#8217;est taillé une réputation mondiale à titre de région la plus musicale du Québec. La musique traditionnelle est présente partout et se transmet de génération en génération. Les Poules à Colin n’échappent pas à la règle. Ce quintette composé de quatre filles et d’un gars tire son nom rigolo de la chanson traditionnelle « La poule à Colin ». Son répertoire bilingue diversifié et vivant comprend des valses intimes, des reels et de superbes chansons à répondre. Les membres du groupe sont <b>Éléonore Pitre</b> (guitare, voix), <b>Sarah Marchand</b> (voix, piano, guitare, tambour bodhrán), <b>Colin Savoie-Levac</b> (cordes, podorythmie, voix), <b>Béatrix Méthé</b> (violon, voix) et <b>Marie Savoie-Levac</b> (piano, basse, voix).</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Le Bal à l’huile </strong></span></p>
<p>Le Bal à l’huile are remarkable singers who are faithful to the vocal and musical styling’s and traditions of Québec, yet bring their own harmonic twist to that repertoire. Their name is a harkening back to the days of big kitchen parties, when musicians and vocalists gathered together to play and sing at oil lamp parties or “a ball of oil”. Singing both <i>a cappella</i> and accompanied by acoustic instruments are <b>Patrick Goulet </b>(vocals), <b>Jean Coupal </b>and <b>Isaël McIntyre</b> (vocals, foot percussion), <b>Normand Breton </b>(accordions), <b>Olivier Brousseau </b>and<b> Paulyn Lacroix</b> (guitar, vocals) and <b>Guy Breton</b> (bass, vocals).</p>
<p>Six chanteurs remarquables et fidèles aux traditions orales et musicales du Québec se distinguent par le raffinement de leur harmonisation vocale unique. Leur nom témoigne de l’époque où musiciens et chanteurs se rassemblaient pour faire la fête dans une cuisine, autour d’une bonne vieille lampe à l’huile pour créer ce qu’on appelait à l’époque « un vrai bal à l&#8217;huile ». Ils chantent <i>a cappella</i> et s’accompagnent d’instruments acoustiques. Ne manquez pas <b>Patrick Goulet </b>(voix), <b>Jean Coupal </b>et <b>Isaël McIntyre</b> (voix, podorythmie), <b>Normand Breton </b>(accordéons), <b>Olivier Brousseau </b>et<b> Paulyn Lacroix </b>(guitare, voix) et <b>Guy Breton</b> (contrebasse, voix).</p>

Meet New York’s Matuto (“bumpkin” in Brazilian slang), a 6 member group forging an irresistible sonic dialogue between Brazil and America. “Whether you’re talking Zydeco or <i>forró</i>, these musical worlds have so much in common,” says <b>Clay Ross</b>, Matuto guitarist and band co-founder with accordionist <b>Rob Curto</b>. “They are grooving and sexy and all about dancing with your partner.” Come experience Matuto’s inspired worldly sound as it sashays onto the Festival stage!</p>
<p>Imaginez le son du carnaval brésilien, mais en provenance des Appalaches. La musique de Matuto (« rustre » en argot brésilien) fait de véritables pas de deux entre le bluegrass et le <i>forró</i>, entre le rock des marais et le <i>maracatu</i>, et entre le shimmy de la guitare surf et les vibrations du <i>berimbau</i>. Originaire de Brooklyn (New York), Matuto est un groupe de six musiciens qui font dialoguer les sons du Brésil et de l’Amérique de façon irrésistible. « Prenez le zydéco ou le <i>forró</i>. Ces deux univers musicaux ont beaucoup en commun », déclare <b>Clay Ross</b>, guitariste de Matuto et cofondateur du groupe, avec l’accordéoniste <b>Rob Curto</b>. « Enlevants et sexy, ils vous incitent à danser votre partenaire. » Venez vibrer dans l’univers musical de Matuto lors de sa prestation sur la scène du Festival!</p>

<p>“Vashaan” is a Baluchi word meaning joy and hope, and the Vashaan Ensemble draws upon Iran’s rich musical past to perform joyful and memorable Persian traditional songs, and to celebrate the lively and distinctive folk music of Sistan, Baluchistan and the Southern Khorasan provinces of Iran. The group is comprised of some of the finest classically-trained Persian musicians working outside of Iran today. The group features Fathieh Honari (vocals), Reza Honari (Persian kamanche – a bowed, stringed instrument), Ali Sajjadi (setar, radif, barbat, oud – stringed instruments), Saina Khaledi (santour – a type of hammered dulcimer) and Hamin (tombak – a goblet-shaped Persian drum).</p>
<p>L’ensemble Vashann tire son nom d’un mot baloutchi qui signifie « joie » et « espoir ». Puisant au riche passé musical de l’Iran pour interpréter des chansons traditionnelles perses rythmées et mémorables, l’ensemble célèbre la musique folk propre aux provinces du Sistan, du Baloutchistan et du Khorassan sud. Il est composé de certains des musiciens de formation classique perse les plus accomplis à se produire à l&#8217;extérieur de l&#8217;Iran. Ses membres sont Fathieh Honari (voix), Reza Honari (kamanche – instrument à cordes), Ali Sajjadi (setar, radif, barbat, oud – instruments à cordes), Saina Khaledi (santour – type de tympanon) et Hamin (tombak – tambour en forme de gobelet).</p>
