Wanabi Farmeur / Wanabi Farmeur - CD
In addition to Ginette Ahier, Mathieu D'Astous, Denis Surette, Sébastien Michaud and Jon Anderson, the other musicians who participated in the album are Danny Bourgeois, Jean Surette and Kevin McIntyre. In the choirs, we find Caroline Savoie, Véronique Bilodeau, Frédéric Butruille, Mylène, Florence and Louis D'Astous. Gabriel Robichaud and Léonard Forest each participated in the text of a song.
During the World Guitar Festival in Rouyn-Noranda, in 2013, the group Wanabi Farmeur met the famous Jon Anderson, best known as a member of the groups Jon & Vangelis and Yes. He offered the band to lend his voice to the song "Floating Shack", one of two out of eleven English songs on the album.
Wanabi Farmer
Ginette Ahier and Mathieu D'Astous began their collaboration on creation and life projects in 2005. The complementarity of their voices and their complicity in writing then became apparent to their peers and their public. This musical connection gave rise to tours in Quebec, the Maritimes and Western Canada, numerous adventure trips crossing seas and mountains, multiple creation and renovation projects, as well as the birth of two children (Florence and Louis). Multi-instrumentalists, trippy of multiple projects and haunted by the incessant melodies in the right hemisphere of their brain, they gave birth to the Wanabi Farmeur project in order to continue clearing the fertile fields of the musical hinterland of Acadia.
Ginette Ahier
Following training in classical piano and music therapy at the University of Quebec in Montreal, Ginette Ahier, originally from Atholville, in northern New Brunswick, arrived in 2003 like a bite of fresh air with a first eponymous album produced by Eloi Painchaud, and a second in 2007, "Taxi Miki", directed by Mathieu D'Astous. Acclaimed by critics, she received the Prix Sacré Talent from Espace Musique as well as the Prix du public in Granby, in addition to being nominated for the Adisq, the Felix Leclerc prize and the Prix Gémeaux. She has toured, among others, as the opening act for Jane Birkin and Robert Charleboix and is part of the collective album "Tous les filles" in 2010. We could hear her on various albums including the children's album "Petit Chien de wool" under the label La Montagne Secrète. In 2008, Ginette launched her artisanal chocolate factory, Choco-Cocagne, which specializes in the creation of chocolate delicacies with eclectic flavors.
Mathieu D'Astous
Singer-songwriter born in Moncton, Mathieu D'Astous released his first album "Ada" in 2002 and his second, "Les Méandres", in 2006. A graduate in geography/biology from the Université de Moncton and a Master of Marine Management from Dalhousie University, he divides his time between music, family, gardening, hockey and his work as director of the Cooperative La Récolte de Chez Nous. He produced with the NFB "La Dernier Batture", a short film on the precarious situation of clam fishing in the Kouchibouguac region. Among other things, he was chosen Sacré Talent by Espace Musique and won the Etoile Galaxie prize.
