World Music: Les Charbonniers de l'Enfer, "Sur la Vignelon"
(Canada) Les Charbonniers de l'Enfer is a remarkable a capella quintet that has been researching and arranging the Quebecois oral tradition and then performing it too wildly enthusiastic crowds for the past ten years. Singers and foot percussionists Michel Bordeleau and Andre Marchand have both tenured with Canada's legendary folk group, "La Boutine Souriante." This rousing song is an encore from a 2005 performance at La Tulipe in Montreal. The harmonies are tight, the voices true and the fancy footwork gives it that unmistakable French Canadian kick.
