"The Healing Fiddle Medley", Genticorum

"The Healing Fiddle Medley", performed by Genticorum (www.genticorum.com) in concert at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org), Rockville, MD, USA on June 11, 2011.

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.

Firmly rooted in the soil of their native land, the energetic and original traditional 'power trio' also incorporates the dynamism of today's North American and European folk cultures in their music. They weave precise and intricate fiddle and flute work, gorgeous vocal harmonies, energetic foot percussion and guitar and bass accompaniment into a big and jubilant musical feast.
