Le vent du Nord - Voisinages (2025)
Voisinages solidifies Le Vent du Nord’s role as guardians and storytellers of Québécois folk, striking a fine balance between reverence and innovation. The arrangements feel generous: they weave traditional instrumentation (violin, hurdy-gurdy, accordion) with touches of contemporary folk sensibility, so the music breathes fresh life into familiar roots. The theme of neighbors—whether geographic, cultural, or emotional—gives the album cohesion, as songs traverse proximity, memory, and community. Vocals and harmony remain central; the band’s group singing, lyric engagement, and skilled arranging ensure each track resonates with warmth and identity. In short, Voisinages is both a tribute and an invitation—to listen, belong, and recognize the ties that bind us.
