Marchands de Mémoire - Le tisonnier des souvenirs (2026) [Hi-Res]

The Quebec-based collective Marchands de Mémoire has released a new album and performance titled Le tisonnier des souvenirs, marking the group's tenth anniversary. This project integrates folk music, poetry, and storytelling to explore and preserve regional historical heritage. The work specifically focuses on three historical narratives: the lives of the coureurs des bois, the Patriot rebellion of 1837, and the mining communities. By blending traditional melodies with narrative prose, the collective aims to reconnect contemporary audiences with the landscapes and ancestral history of Quebec, transforming collective memory into a vivid cultural experience.
