Details: Amazon.ca When a merry band of comedians, nourished by folklore, rock and world music, get together to play their instruments, it gives Between the branches. The group Mes Aïeux offers a second heterogeneous album full of winks. From La Bolduc to funk, from Beau Dommage to Arabic inflections, from jig to corrida, the group shamelessly takes over the traditional genre, infusing it with astonishing vigor. Each text is a little story that makes you want to know its fall: it exposes strange beliefs, it talks about cuckolded spouses, memorable drinking binges, diabolical legends. The themes of local songs are rejuvenated by these fearless musicians. Who would have thought that we could mix "Wow", by André Gagnon, with "La Prison de Londres", a classic of the genre? Who could have thought of giving a reggae rhythm to the traditional "Who leads us"? With passion and humour, Mes Aïeux masters the difficult art of creating improbable marriages. -- Diana John
