    <description>Le Band des po&#232;tes is a fortunate meeting between poetry and music. The debut
    album by this collective is heavy on contrasts, intimacy, provocation, sensuality and humor.
    Each poet casts a different light and creates a unique mood. The poets are heard reciting and
    singing the texts and songs for which they wrote both lyrics and music, and they fully
    participate to the musical accompaniment.</description>

    <description>An artistic meeting between poet/performer D Kimm and musician Bernard Falaise.
    Kimm mentions silence but mostly talks about love, the kind of love that leaves a mark, moves
    you, changes you, and does not let you forget. Powerful lyrics are carried, whispered, chanted
    and sung by D Kimm in her gravely and fragile voice. A carnal dialogue established with the
    bewitching music performed by Falaise and his acolytes. And the unexpected surprise: three love
    songs sung by Michel Faubert, Andr&#233; Duchesne and Pierre Cartier. An electric shock of an
    album by the director of Filles &#233;lectriques and the Festival Voix
    d'Am&#233;riques.</description>

    <description>From L&#8217;Enfant Fort, a spontaneous fanfare, to the Pouet Pouet Band, a stage
    fanfare, to Montr&#233;al Transport Limit&#233;, underground cabaret troupe from the Plateau
    Mont-Royal, we now present, 20 years later and out of sheer pleasure and desire, the first CD
    of original compositions by Fanfare Pourpour, entitled &#8220;Tout le monde.&#8221; With this
    first album, Fanfare Pourpour offers us a set of music which is delicately orchestrated,
    lyrical, poetic, cinematic, and rythmic. Accordion, guitar, clarinet and brass calling to a
    party where happiness, chaos and poetry intermingle. In a time when genocides and armed
    conflicts affect thousands of human beings, tearing away our present and future dignity, here
    is a music which rekindles the meaning of the word liberty.</description>

    <description>Recorded &#8220;live in the studio&#8221; in a joyful atmosphere, under Jean
    Derome&#8217;s musical direction, Le bal culls 16 of Fanfare Pourpour&#8217;s recent
    compositions. An authentic big band like they don&#8217;t make anymore, with brass instruments,
    saxophones, clarinets, guitars, banjo, accordions, violins and percussion, the Fanfare invites
    you to join the dance, the dream and the discovery of urban pastoral music. Gracefully playing
    original and colorfully arranged tunes by Luzio Altobelli, Suzanne Babin, Philippe Brault,
    Guido Del Fabbro, Jean Derome, Normand Guilbeault, St&#233;phane M&#233;nard, Bernard Poirier,
    Pierre Emmanuel Poizat, Luc Proulx, Nemo Venba and Claude Vendette, Fanfare Pourpour delivers
    with this new album a bunch of lucky-charm waltzes, French songs, Jazz and Cajun-tinged tunes,
    sophisticated improvisations and New-Orleans swing. The spirit of Fanfare Pourpour is both sad
    and joyful, like feeling the urge to dance, cry or laugh, the urge to kiss one&#8217;s lover or
    to get drunk; it gives tunes influenced by the smell of Eastern Europe, the spirit of
    Fellini&#8217;s films, the Gypsies and Kurt Weill, the German cabaret and the French
    caf&#8217;-conc&#8217;, the urchin spirit, Jacques Tati, Jean Renoir, Children of

    <description>Recorded &#8220;live&#8221; in the studio, Karusell Musik delivers 17 compositions
    by and with Swedish accordionist Lars Hollmer, orchestrated by Jean Derome for the Fanfare
    Pourpour. The Fanfare &#8212; an authentic large dance ensemble like they don&#8217;t make
    &#8217;em anymore, with a brass section, saxes, clarinets, guitars, banjo, accordions, violins,
    and percussion &#8212; invites you to discover or rediscover the songs and tunes of Lars
    Hollmer. Lars Hollmer has travelled the world with his timeless melodies full of naive beauty
    and dancing lyricism, in a number of musical projects. He also excels in the art of
    collaboration, either with Japanese musicians (the Global Home project), virtuoso accordion
    players (the group Accordion Tribe) or big Quebecois fanfares! In the late &#8216;80s, he had
    even recruited sax player Jean Derome in his Looping Home Orchestra, on Fred Frith&#8217;s
    recommendation. And so it is egged on by Derome that the Fanfare Pourpour embarked on this
    adventure with Hollmer. A first - successful - attempt was made at the Festival international
    de musique incroyable in the summer of 2004, followed by a more official concert at the
    Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville in May 2005, both times with the
    composer. In October 2006, Hollmer was back on Qu&#233;bec soil for a week of rehearsals and
    recordings: the Fanfare backing up Lars; Lars writing for the Fanfare. A double rapture where
    the Swede&#8217;s tunes find a new home and the Quebecois fanfare is given pieces that were
    clearly meant for it.</description>

    <description>L&#8217;Hexacorde favors the contemporary repertoire for classical guitar

    to the premiere recordings of works by Martin Levasseur (&#8220;Empreintes magnolia&#8221;, for
    electric guitar, four guitars and bass) and Francis Marcoux (&#8220;Obstination&#8221;, for
    five guitars and bass), along with original arrangements of works by contemporary composers,
    such as John Cage (excerpts from &#8220;Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano&#8221;,
    arranged for five prepared guitars and prepared bass), Mauricio Kagel (excerpts from
    &#8220;Rrrrrr&#8230;&#8221;, for five guitars, mandolin and bass) and Claude Vivier
    (&#8220;Pulau Dewata&#8221;, arranged for four guitars). And L&#8217;Hexacorde delivers
    masterful, refined and passionate interpretations of these pieces.</description>

    <description>This is a collection of impressionnistic pieces, in which songs and instrumental
    compositions fray together, along with marches and waltzes, bringing to mind a story of
    drowning, with wounds and mourning but also hope. From a hotel on a cliff by the sea comes a
    song of farewell. Through it we remember those who we have loved and those who are no longer
    with us. Through fearful nights that threaten isolation, we mingle the sounds of our
    instruments and our those of our flesh. We hold our hands in the fierce wind.

    <description>Following up on their debut album "Enjambons le d&#233;sert," the incredible Frank
    Martel et l&#8217;Ouest c&#233;leste deliver 14 new eclectic- and fantastic-sounding songs
    under the musical direction of the untamable Bernard Falaise. "Sautons ce repas de midi," crazy
    with lightness. Highly likeable, this album contains 14 short songs, all musically and
    poetically entertaining and funny. Arrangements are creative, thrilling, and attuned to the
    wildness of the Ouest C&#233;leste musicians. This album provides a highly enjoyable listen, a
    feeling urging one to hit the "Repeat" button. The eighth release from the label Monsieur
    Fauteux M&#8217;entendez-Vous?, "Sautons ce repas de midi" proposes music that is absolutely
    compatible with the label&#8217;s previous releases, including La Fanfare Pourpour&#8217;s
    "Tout le monde" and Ipso Facto&#8217;s "La Spirale de l&#8217;escargot." "And so we have a
    handful of songs bursting with imagination, like so many wildlife, exotic or quotidian dreams
    put on a county-fair ride under a shower of Northern lights! Not to mention Martel&#8217;s
    "approximate" yet touching voice - he manages to pastiche the country genre without ever making
    fun of it. And those melodies seeping into your head, like so many antidotes against winter
    blues... Pure pleasure!" &#8212; Bande &#224; part, SRC</description>
