A mainstay of the Canadian traditional folk landscape, Quebec's Le Vent du Nord ("The Wind of the North") specialize in a mix of traditional French-Canadian folk that draws on influences ranging from French medieval music to British folk to the Celtic music of Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany. Employing fiddle, mandolin, accordion, guitar, bouzouki, and the hurdy-gurdy, the members of Le Vent du Nord also specialize in rich vocal harmonies which, unlike other traditional Celtic groups, are sung primarily in French. The band's energetic live shows have been captured on live albums like the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Award-winning Symphonique, and in addition to their highly regarded studio output for Borealis Records, they have collaborated with fellow Canadian folk band De Temps Antan on 2018's unique Notre Album Solo. They began the next decade with 2022's 20 Printemps.
Members of Le Vent du Nord include, or have included, André Brunet, Nicolas Boulerice, and Olivier Demers.
