It is by merging traditional Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois song and electro music that M\u00e9lisande [electrotrad] has stood out since the release of her first album in 2014.<\/p>\n
From repertoire research in collections of folklorists, to excavations in archive centers and then by collecting traditional songs from elders along the Richelieu, the duo has remained anchored in tradition while creating a very contemporary sound.<\/p>\n
The 4th opus ” Flash de m\u00e9moire” (Les Disques Passeport, 2021) revisits traditional classics in addition to offering 5 covers of popular songs
\ninspired by the trad: Y\u2019a pas grand chose dans l\u2019ciel \u00e0 soir, Boisson d\u2019avril, D\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9rations, Les \u00e9toiles filantes et La marche du pr\u00e9sident. In doing so, M\u00e9lisande [electrotrad] sheds light on the influence of folklore on Quebec song over the past decades by offering a daring reinterpretation.<\/p>\n
Whether it is by rewriting the words of the past or by giving an electrotrad sound on occasions, the duo gives new life to these works in order to transmit and disseminate our French-speaking culture.<\/p>\n
Hailed by critics from here and elsewhere and rewarded with a Canadian Folk Music Award, two Independent Music Awards and several nominations (ADISQ, GAMIQ, CFMA, IMA), M\u00e9lisande [electrotrad] presented more than 250 shows (Canada, Australia, Europe, United
\nStates).<\/p>\n
On stage, M\u00e9lisande and \u201cMoulin\u201d present the Flash de M\u00e9moire repertoire as well as titles from previous albums surrounded by two seasoned musicians (dancers and screenings optional).<\/p>\n
You are invited to a highly energetic show ideal for making the general public discover the richness of Quebec tradition. \u201cElectric, electrified and electrifying music, nothing less! “- ICI MUSIQUE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2697,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"It is by merging traditional Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois song and electro\r\nmusic that M\u00e9lisande [electrotrad] has stood out since\r\nthe release of her first album in 2014.\r\n\r\nFrom repertoire research in collections of folklorists, to\r\nexcavations in archive centers and then by collecting\r\ntraditional songs from elders along the Richelieu, the\r\nduo has remained anchored in tradition while creating a\r\nvery contemporary sound.","_seopress_robots_index":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categorie-artiste":[],"genres":[],"class_list":["post-1086","artiste","type-artiste","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pasamusik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artiste\/1086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pasamusik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artiste"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pasamusik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artiste"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pasamusik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pasamusik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categorie-artiste","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pasamusik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categorie-artiste?post=1086"},{"taxonomy":"genres","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pasamusik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genres?post=1086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
