Traditional techniques, driving rhythms and hot melodies mix to give way to a French musical experience that celebrates a more global and cosmopolitan perspective. Some of the songs are familiar folk traditions of Quebec and France, but others will take the audience to such exotic lands as la Camarque or Morocco via gypsy routes of Southern Europe.
