Average Rating:
 Rating: - Purchased as a giftThe person I gave it to says he likes the music and thanked me for the introduction to a new band. Rating: - Almost as good as seeing them liveEvery time I listened to this album I remember seeing Le Vent du Nord live. I discovered them at the Sebastopol Celtic Festival. The positive energy level in the room was amazing! I just wish I could have been there the day before when they (along with Baka Beyond) gave a concert for 500 local elementary school kids. Reports are that the kids went totally nuts: jumping up and down, twirling around, and dancing in the aisles. Rating: - A vibrant expression of the full range of the human spiritDans Les Airs is the latest music CD by Le Vent du Nord, a quartet of young singers and instrumentalists. Blending old songs learned from the people of French Canada (including a school janitor on Cape Breton) with their own reals and tunes drawing upon the music of Ireland, Scotland, medieval France, and their own creativity, Le Vent du Nord is a vibrant expression of the full range of the human spirit, from exuberant fun to bittersweet reflections.

The pieces are sung as call and response in harmony, with delightful arrangements and musicianship. The traditional Celtic Acadian reels and dances, performed chiefly on accordian, fiddle, guitar, piano, and that peculiar instrument, the hurdy-gurdy, make for happy, foot-tapping listening. Hard work and archival study was put in to develop their special sound. This is top level group that deserves better recognition south of the Canadian border. Rating: - la joie de viethis third album from le vent du nord is as lovely, rousing, and addictive as their last two. anyone who has seen them play live this past year will hear some familiar tunes and also be happy to finally hear rejean's contribution in the studio. the songs complement as well as add a fresh sound to their current body of work. olivier's fiddle playing rises to the fore as it is always beautiful, sometimes heart breakingly so. nicolas' and simon's voices are as wonderful as ever and full of emotion, and you can sense rejean's infectious smile in his playing. all four of them are incredibly talented musicians and it is a joy to listen to each in turn and together. if you are new to traditional quebecois music, the music of ...
