Le Vent du Nord: the Voisinages Album and The Tour That is in Full Swing

Interview by Alain Brunet

Additional Information

This fall, Le Vent du Nord released Voisinages, a highly mature album where all aspects of their creative vision are respected in this flagship of Quebec traditional music: mastery of the traditional repertoire, inventive songwriting, and a modernization of both the repertoire and its performance. Moreover, a new member has shone within the quintet since Simon Beaudry’s departure: André “Dédé” Gagné has found his place and completes the lineup, which also includes Nicolas Boulerice, Olivier “Olo” Demers, André Brunet, and Réjean Brunet. This Friday, December 13, Le Vent du Nord plans to fill the Grand Théâtre de Québec to capacity as part of a tour that began last October and will continue until the end of 2026, interspersed with symphonic concerts, including those on December 18 in Drummondville and December 21 in Victoriaville, not to mention La Veillée de l’avant-veille on December 30 at Club Soda in Montreal.
