The Group
'Wonderful rhythmic flare ... a very full and glorious
noise' - SING OUT!
Genticorum are fast becoming one of the most sought-after proponents
of Québécois musical culture,
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.
Weaving wooden flute, fiddle, acoustic guitar, jaw harp, bass
and foot percussion with strong vocal
harmonies, they offer a blend of traditional songs and tunes as
well as original compositions.Their
distinctive sound, sense of humour and stage presence make them
a supreme crowd pleaser. Since their debut in 2000, Genticorum
has forged a solid place for itself on the folk and world music
circuit, playing festivals, concerts and dances.

Their sophomore album 'Malins Plaisirs' (2005, Roues et Archets/Fusion
III) won the Canadian Folk Music Award 2005 in the "Best
Ensemble" category and was nominated for JUNO (Canada) and
Felix (Québec) Awards in 2006.Their recent success in England,
Scotland, Scandinavia, Germany, Malaysia, Israel, Egypt, Australia
and New Zealand forecast a
sparkling international career for our slightly naughty 'bons
vivants'.
