Drinking songs, response songs, joyful laments make up this fine and musically muscular cake. Because the merry band is not content to cover traditional songs, it does a real work of anthology, unearthing works from all over Quebec, but also in Manitoba, Ireland and even Spain. The nine musicians of the group manage to create jazz atmospheres, sometimes funky, thanks to a powerful brass section. The fusion between the genres covered is perfect. Each song gives rise to surprising musical discoveries. The rich and imposing voice of singer and storyteller Yves Lambert immediately seduces. From the rascal “Un air si douce” to the jazzy “Alice au pays d'Arto”, Xième shines with its originality and intelligence. A funny booklet, full of anecdotes, completes the album. --Diane John
