Spi and La Gaudriole
En Avant Baleti (Cinq Planetes)
$16.99

High energy 'new folk' from France fronted by 'Spi' (aka Jean Michel Poisson), the former singer and songwriter of OTH, a punk-rock band in the 80s and the Naufragés folk-rock band Shipwrecked Persons. Now Spi digs deeper into the roots of popular folk music and dances of France, polkas, mazurka, bourrées, rondes et gavottes. Spi and the Gaudriole (from the XIII century ancient verb gaudere (to be delighted) use vielle a roue (hurdy- gurdy), fife and drums, Languedoc oboe, hautbois, mandolin along with guitars, drums and bass, using arrangements both trad and contemporary, enriched by original contemporary lyrics. The artist says: 'As in Africa, India or Brittany, it's time for our tribes to go on stage and proclaim that, here and everywhere else, tradition and evolution are as one.' Highly recommended

Please note! Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
