| Description |
--They are a light-hearted, improvident, unenterprising people, more fond of the fiddle than the hoe. --
Edward Elwell, Portland Transcript, on the Acadians of Maine, 1878 //
. . . And in 2009, representing todays generation of Acadian-Maniacs and inspiring the populace to forget toil and care, comes Boreal Tordu. More than a revival, this is the reinvention of a culture almost lost to a new generation. The result is a rhythmically unstoppable, lyrically fantastic blend of French-Canadian traditions with original Americana sensibilities.
Their 2006 release La Bonne Vie was called "an inspiration to the Franco-American community" by Dirty Linen Magazine, and has been heard on the PBS series Now with Bill Moyers. The band features fiddler/accordionist Steve Muise, and Acadian singer-songwriter and dobro player Rob Sylvain, known for his work in the band Douce with Matthew Doucet of Lafayette, Louisiana.
Rounding out the rhythm section is Pip Walter on guitar and backing vocals, and Andy Buckland on upright bass. Thrice nominated for the Portland Phoenix readers poll award for Best World Music Act, Boral Tordu continues to innovate and abide in a genre by itself.
