Boréal Tordu returns to the East Sangerville Grange
EAST SANGERVILLE — The second concert in the 2013-2014 East Sangerville Grange Coffee House Series will be the award-winning musical group Boréal Tordu. The concert will take place on Saturday, Dec. 7 with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. and the concert beginning at 7 p.m. The Grange will also serve their delicious desserts and strong coffee.
Boréal Tordu has played at the Grange in the past, “They never disappoint – except when the show ends and everyone has to go home,” said Grange member Alan Bray.
Boréal Tordu began when fiddler Steve Muise and singer Robert Sylvain discovered a mutual interest in the music of their shared Acadian heritage. While signs of their parents’ French culture can still be found in Maine, after years of assimilation it was almost lost to their generation.
More than a revival, their music represents a continuation of musical traditions passed down from the Acadians, the Québécois, and the unique French-speaking people of Madawaska and mill towns all over New England. Nominated three times for Best World Music Act by the readers of the Portland Phoenix, Boréal Tordu continues to innovate and abide in a genre by itself.
Tickets are available by calling Alan Bray at 564-2722.
