Our most fervent ambassador of Quebec’s musical tradition abroad, Le Vent du Nord, celebrates his 20-year career with this magnificent 11and album on which, as usual, the old songs appear transfigured by his work of original composition and contemporary orchestrations. Three reals — one from the repertoire, two originals — are knit together for this uplifting World Tour opening, the festive side of the group manifesting itself again at the end of the album, during the spellbinding Centaury and the tender drinking song If you want. The group enriches our repertoire with two very beautiful original songs, In the brandy of the tree and especially Americans, a Quebec column as a nod to Gilbert Langevin and Serge Bouchard. The highlight of the album was planted in its heart: The legend of Marianne becomes one of the band’s finest recordings, with its theatrical, modern violin orchestrations and poignant choirs, which then become moving on the a cappella the innbeautiful.
