The French Connection: Quebecois Music Festival

You might not have the slightest clue what Quebecois folk sounds like, but if you're into bluegrass or Celtic music, you'll feel right at home with this buoyant, rustic, stringcentric style, exemplified here by the groups Le Bruit Court dans la Ville (Apr 10)—joined by ace Quebecois dance leader Pierre Chartrand—and Le Vent du Nord (Apr 11).
