The award-winning and highly renowned band Le Vent du Nord 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 its 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 flavour to even the most buoyant dance tunes.
