Le Vent Du Nord
Tour Dates 2016 – Ireland – May & UK – July & August
Promoting their album TÊtu
Quebec’s most progressive folk band Le Vent du Nord return to tour their eighth album entitled Têtu meaning stubborn or obstinate.
For the purpose of clarity the band write Têtu in everyday usage whilst the CD booklet showing TÉtu is purely for the group’s artwork.
Irish and UK Tour
With Têtu, Le Vent du Nord have remained true to their Québecois roots whilst at the same time introducing new ideas to their music.
The album is made up of fifteen tracks with subject matter ranging from politics to love and satire.
They vary from stripped-down a cappella singing to sophisticated arrangements, including the introduction of a string quartet.
Le Vent du Nord’s music is definitely getting sharper, more refined, and ever more thoughtful.
