Last night we had the pleasure of seeing the Quebecois band, Genticorum.

I though they were pretty good. Three guys playing broadly traditional song and dance tunes on Guitar, fiddle, flute, accordion, mandolin and the energetic Quebec foot rhythm thing, damned if I know how anyone can play a fiddle, sing and do foot rhythm at the same time.

Good selection of tunes and songs well presented and energetically played.

a song from there latest album

Excellent, thanks for sharing.

They remind me of another Quebecois group, Le Vent du Nord, who I have seen live multiple times. They tour in the UK regularly, and if you like this sort of thing, well worth seeking out. Features a hurdy-gurdy!

Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest, for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart. - Andres Segovia
