Over the past couple of years I've become a great fan of traditional Québecois music. I love the rich and haunting harmonies, the energetic podorythmie (foot percussion), and the Canadian-accented French lyrics—which are sometimes a challenge to decipher. But more than anything else, this is music that makes me dance!
Thanks to my friend Rudy Busto (merci, RuRu!), I've also recently discovered Les Charbonniers de l'Enfer, an a cappella group singing a traditional repertoire. They're marvelous—as you can hear for yourself. (Apologies to my lawyer friends for the lyrics! :)
