Ad Vielle Que Pourra was a Quebec-based music group which performed original compositions in the style of the French, Québécois, and Breton folk music traditions.[1] The band's name came from the vielle (the French term for the hurdy-gurdy), an instrument which features prominently in their music.[2]
History
Ad Vielle Que Pourra was founded in 1986. Band members included Daniel Thonon,[3] Luc Thonon,[4] Gilles Plante, Alain Leroux, Clement Demers, and Sarah Lesage.[5]
In 1989 the band released their first album on the Green Linnet Records label,[6] including 1989's Ad Vielle Que Pourra, New French Folk Music,[7] in which they used a variety of traditional instruments, including hurdy-gurdy, Bombarde and accordion.[8] In this and their subsequent album Come What May (1991),[9] they included songs created by setting traditional lyrics to new music.[5]
In 1990 and 1991, the band performed at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, and in 1993 at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. In 1994 they released a third album, Musaïque.[10][11]
In 1996, the band released the album Ménage à Quatre through Green Linnet's sub-label Xenophile Records.[12][1][6] The album was made up of new music in the traditional dance beats and styles from several countries. Instruments included bagpipe, clarinet, guitar, Mandocello and fiddle.[13][14]
Through 1999 the band continued to perform in Canada and the US.[15] They disbanded in 2000.
