Genticorum is a trio playing high-energy,
traditional and original Québécois songs
and music. Heavily rooted in their Québec
tradition, the group's music also illustrates
the its connection with North American and
European folk music traditions. Their two
albums "Malins Plaisirs" (Roues et Archets
2005) and "Le Galarneau" (Roues et
Archets 2002) propose a mix of songs,
traditional tunes and new compositions.
Blending flute, fiddle, acoustic guitar, bass,
jew's harp, podorythmie (foot tapping) and
thier three voices, they effortlessly take
audiences along with them on a rich aural
journey. Since their formation in 2000, the
trio has carved out a strong niche on the trad
scene, playing major folk festivals
throughout Canada and the USA, and has
enlivened many a soirée of traditional
Québécois dance. www.genticorum.com
