   About Genticorum
Genticorum was founded in 2000, when Alex, Yann and Pascal discovered their common love for late night poutine and french canadian crooked fiddle tunes. Now they switched for late night shawarma, and have added some very glorious non-crooked french canadian fiddle tunes to their repertoire. Other than that, not much has changed since...

This is what they say to promote their band:

Genticorum are fast becoming one of the most sought-after proponents of Quebecois musical culture, firmly rooted in the soil of their native land. The energetic and original traditional 'power trio' also incorporates the dynamism of todays North American and European folk cultures in their music. Weaving wooden flute, fiddle, acoustic guitar, jaw harp, bass, foot percussion with strong vocal harmonies, they produce a brilliant tapestry which gives them their distinctive sound. Since their debut in 2000, Genticorum has forged a solid place for itself on the folk festival circuit, playing concerts and dances throughout Canada, the US, the UK and Australia.
Genticorum won a Canadian Folk Music Award 2005 for its sophomore album Malins Plaisirs, as well as for it's most recent production, La Bibournoise, 2008, both the Roues et Archets Label.

They also say this when they have less text space to promote their band:

Canada's "Best Folk Ensemble" Genticorum allow the uninitiated a glimpse into the spirited world of traditional Quebecois music, blending energetic fiddle & feet, sonorous flute, rock-solid bass and pulsing guitar into a tight sonic weave with gorgeous three part vocals!

Hope you enjoy the tunes!
Au plaisir!

Hello Yann,

I see you guys are performing at the Lowell Folk Festival in July. I will be in Lowell that Saturday afternoon playing a gig at a pub called the Old Court. Come in for a pint if you find yourself free... I'll for sure try and catch one of your performances over the weekend. Until then...
