• Intro Text Taking their name from a popular traditional song, Les Poules à Colin are a new take on an age-old recipe: five childhood friends who still live on the same street, sharing a history of music-making and family ties. Les Poules are a dynamic and creative group turning heads wherever they go. Exposed to Québécois and other folk music from the moment they were hatched, these offspring of trad musicians were bathed in music, whether backstage at an international festival or at a lively kitchen jam in Lanaudière, arguably Quebec’s most musical region. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
