Occasionally, the fact that the Canadian province of Quebec is lost in some weird French time warp is a good thing. Take Genticorum for example. It would be impossible to imagine this French/Canadian/folk trio coming from anywhere but Quebec.
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. Their distinctive sound, sense of humor and stage presence make them a supreme crowd pleaser.
Genticorum plays this Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 7 PM at Carlsbadistan’s Museum of Making Music. They sing in French. Click here to buy tickets and get more info. Tickets are $25, $20 for members and $18 for students. The MoMM is located at 5790 Armada Dr., in Carlsbad, California.
