Quebec traditional joy.......2007-05-06

Take a fiddle, guitar, hurdy-gurdy, and concertina; add Celtic tuneful dances; mix with New World frontier spirit; flavor with French pride; sing in synchronous harmony; and perform like there is no tomorrow: what you get is a recording to bring smiles. Lively pieces are mixed with quiet reflections. Many of the tracks are based on 18th- and early 19th-century French folk tunes; others originated in French Canadian soil. This is fun music. Enjoy!

The sophmore effort--a little more serious but still very fun!.......2007-03-02

Les Amants was my second Vent du Nord purchase and I found it almost equally as fun as their debut album, Maudite Moisson! The group seems to venture on some songs like Le Retour du Fils Soldat--a moving and emotional song--into more serious ballads but still retain the fun that the first CD offered. Cre Mardi is the most fun song of the whole CD. Anyone hearing it will want to learn french just to sing the responses.

The rest of the music is very good overall. This group seems committed to staying in the traditional vein while bringing new life to old songs--and really isn't that what it's all about with many Celtic/folk groups when replaying traditional music?

Although not as fresh as their debut effort, this CD is still a unique pleasure to listen to. I feel that this group's talent will produce even greater productions here in the future. They play well and sing well toghether--there's chemistry. They are due to release another CD this year and I for one am anxious to make Le Vent du Nord a 3-CD collection when it does.

fabulous concert-can't wait to hear C.D........2006-10-20

I just saw this band in concert last night in Nashville, TN. It was fabulous and can't wait to receive their CD in the mail. If you are a francophile but also love celtic music, this band is right up your alley.

Wow!.......2006-10-16

Just saw these guys live at the National Folk Festival in Richmond, VA in Oct 2006, and they were great! Loved the music even though couldn't understand words. The stand that was selling CD's sold out, so that's why I am on the web looking to buy, I haven't heard this CD and am not sure which one I will get but, good band.

Great Music for a Greater Cause.......2006-05-03

I got this CD at the Emerald Society Fund Raiser. It is a wonderful collection from the US, Canada and Ireland. If you want a good taste of Irish Music, this is the CD for you. PLUS all profits go to for heart reseach at Children's Hospital - Wisconsin.

Excellent collection of artists for a CD.......2006-03-15

Picked up this CD in Chicago (just came out this year) and has a great collection of known as well as upcoming artists from the midwest. On top of that, I understand that the money goes right a charity called Brendan Heart Fund in Milwaukee at some Children's Hospital. Highly recommend for others.
