Genticorum

"Official Flurry Decompression" (public welcome!) For years Caffè Lena has been the spot for weary dancers to enjoy one last musical hurrah before departing town. Known as the Official Flurry Decompression, this is a chance to enjoy a concert in an intimate setting with one of the Flurry's best acts. This year we're thrilled to welcome the marvelous Quebecois string trio Genticorum. Comprised of Alexandre de Grosbois-Garand (wooden flute, electric bass, vocals), Pascal Gemme (fiddle, feet, vocals) and Yann Falquet (guitar, feet, vocals), Genticorum has become a fixture on the international world, trad, folk and Celtic music circuit. The trio's first three albums met with critical acclaim in Canada, the United States and Great Britain, assuring the band a brilliant future. Known for its energy and its stage presence (and often mistaken for a larger ensemble), Genticorum has given more than 700 concerts of traditional Quebecois music in no fewer than 15 countries—and is showing no sign of slowing down: this is a band in high demand.
