Over the past decade the trad Quebec group Genticorum(Pascal Gemme, Alexandre de Grosbois-Garand and Yann Falquet) has become a fixture on the international world, trad, folk and Celtic music circuit. The trio’s first three albums met with critical acclaim in Canada, the United States and Great Britain, assuring the band a brilliant future. Known for its energy and its stage presence (and often mistaken for a larger ensemble), Genticorum has given more than 700 concerts in no fewer than 15 countries – and is showing no sign of slowing down: this is a band in high demand. With its latest album, Nagez Rameurs (Roues et Archets/Outside), the band continues to develop its unique sound, which is at once ancient and modern. Under Pascal Gemme’s musical direction, on this album the group is joined by such well-known trad artists as Stéphanie Lépine, Olivier Demers, Nicholas Williams and Grey Larsen, signalling a work of undeniable musical refinement and irresistible raw energy. As with previous Genticorum offerings, here the traditional songs and instrumental pieces are intermingled, resulting in an overall recording that is wide-ranging and rich. The theme of voyages, and more precisely voyageurs travelling the waterways of [North] America, runs throughout the album, most especially in its title track, "Nagez Rameurs." | ||||||
