Paul Marchand

Gifted with a sure sense of rhythm and a clear, strong voice, Paul Marchand has collaborated with a huge number of traditional musicians from Québec and France. His two-year stay in Brittany gave him the chance to make contact with a song culture not so far removed from his own in Québec. From 1987 to 1993 he was part of the group Manigance, which had a recent reunion. He also participated in Angèle Arsenault’s shows “Bonjour Madame Bolduc.” He is a founding member of the group Enterloupe, which just released a third CD. He is an exceptional guitarist who, through his accompaniment, arrangements and songs, knows how to bring out all the subtlety and sensitivity of the traditional repertoire.
