Celebrating the tenth anniversary of her [Electrotrad] project, Mélisande revisits songs from her repertoire with a traditional Québécois sound, mostly acoustic, surrounded by four seasoned musicians - long time accomplice former Genticorum member Alexandre de Grosbois-Garand (wooden flute, bass), Jean Desrochers (acoustic guitar), Gabriel Girouard (fiddle, foot stomping) and Éric Breton (percussion). A multiple award-winning singer, Mélisande selected songs from her four previous releases to create the album Rembobine (Rewind). These songs were found by researching folklorists’ collections and archive centres, and by collecting traditional songs from elders along Quebec’s Richelieu River.
Mélisande (lead vocal, jaw harp, mandolin) cleverly enlivens the songs of ancestors in a way that invites youth culture to participate in something old made new again. Her rich musical background and her mesmerizing voice give a fresh take on these traditional songs that she adapts and presents with a modern woman’s perspective. With her infectious energy and engaging stage presence, Mélisande gets the crowd stomping, dancing and singing wherever she goes.
