Tonight's World Music Wednesday with Le Vent du Nord is a ticketed event.
The award winning and highly acclaimed band Le Vent du Nord, now in its 20th year, is a leading force in Quebec's progressive francophone folk movement. The group's vast repertoire draws from both traditional sources and original compositions, while enhancing it's hard-driving soulful music (rooted in the Celtic diaspora) with a broad range of global influences.
"Featuring button accordion, guitar and fiddle, the band's sound is defined by the hurdy-gurdy, which adds an earthy, rough-hewn flavor to even the most buoyant dance tunes.” - Boston Herald
