The group aims to connect their rich Quebecois roots with the wider world. Le Vent du Nord is at the forefront of folk music, having played concerts across five continents. The band has notable acclaim, winning two Junos (the Canadian equivalent to a Grammy), a Canadian Folk Music Award, and “Artist of the Year” at the North American Folk Alliance Annual Gala, among others. The band boasts well-polished musical arrangements in addition to both vocal and instrumental excellence. In the past, the group has performed well-loved songs such as “La Marche des Iroquois”, “Élise”, and “Confédération”.
