Members: Michel Bessette (2), Richard Paquette (2), Richard Fortin (2), Carole Miville
Canadian (Quebec) vocal and instrumental band that interprets folklore but "wants to serve it in the modern style". Also recorded a 45-rpm.The idea of forming such a group first germinated in the brains of Richard Paquet and Michel Bessette, two long-time friends, who set out to find two other members. In December 1972, Carole Miville was introduced to them and "it clicked right away". A few days later, it is Richard Fortin who "embarks". After fierce rehearsals, they gave their first show in January 1973.
