Mes Aïeux

Folk-rock group Mes Aïeux (My Ancestors) had been founded in 1996 by 6 Quebec musicians. Sketching on traditional personas from Quebecois folklore, the French-language group performs materials addressing modern worries like globalization, over-medication, and regional politics within a less-than-threatening grassroots bundle. Mes Aïeux shortly discovered themselves as the figurehead from the “neo-traditional” motion in French-speaking Canada. They released their debut record in 2000, entitled Ca Parle au Diable! (Speaks towards the Devil!), that was adopted a year later on by Entre les Branches (Between your Branches). During the period of a couple of years, both information went platinum, paving just how for 2004’s En Famille (Inside the Family members), which proceeded to go platinum within a 12 months. En Famille received the honored Felix Honor in 2005 for Greatest Contemporary Folk recording, and Mes Aïeux had been nominated for Band of the entire year. In 2006, Tire-Toi une Buche (Draw Up a Seat) went platinum after just three weeks available on the market.
