Vintá - Beacons (2022)

Four brilliant performers at the cutting edge of European traditional music in Canada. Bringing new intensity to old tunes, and growing new tunes from old sources, Vinta is making music that is powerful, profound, and fiercely danceable.

At a time when joy and celebration were far away, the four of us came together and shared everything we could. First came the old tunes, hot meals, and loud laughter - sure enough, then came the new tunes.

The compositions on this album are inspired by the folk music and social dancing traditions of western Europe. Two shining lights have led us to the music we create together: recordings of bygone musicians whose repertoires we revere, and our friends whose spirits keep these traditions alive.
