La Bottine Souriante - Jusquaux Ptites Heures

Review by Anders Abrahamsson

Jusqu'aux Ptites Heures is a lively and energetic album by the traditional Quebecois band La Bottine Souriante. The album features a mix of lively jigs, reels, and ballads, all performed with the group's signature blend of traditional instruments and modern arrangements.

The album opens with the upbeat "Le Ziguezon Zinzon," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its lively fiddle and accordion melodies. Other highlights include the haunting ballad "La Traversée," the catchy "La Valse des jouets," and the foot-stomping "Le Reel des soucoupes volantes."

Throughout the album, the musicians of La Bottine Souriante demonstrate their exceptional musicianship and their deep understanding and appreciation of traditional Quebecois music. The arrangements are fresh and modern, but never lose sight of the rich cultural heritage that informs the band's music.

Summary by Anders Abrahamsson

Jusqu'aux Ptites Heures is a must-listen for anyone interested in traditional Quebecois music, or for anyone looking for a lively and engaging album that will get their feet tapping and their spirits lifted.
