Galant, tu perds ton temps April 15, 2012

Quebec's Galant, tu perds ton temps draws in its audience with tales from the oral tradition and a capella folk songs brimming with colorful harmonies and intricate lyrics.

The group brings together five women and a percussionist around a repertoire of traditional songs. The only form of accompaniment comes from foot tapping, bodhran, jig or occasionally, a suitcase. Lyrics are pushed in the forefront in order to draw the audience's attention to the stories they tell — stories that have been handed down through oral traditions.
