In the early 1980s, recordings of traditional music were rare. The important and evolving formation La Bottine Souriante nevertheless released, in 1983, “ Chic & Swell ”, its third album.
A flagship record, not only of trad, but of the history of Quebec music. Embark on the “ Chic & Swell ” adventure of Yves Lambert , André Marchand , Mario Forest , Martin Racine and Daniel Roy to hear or rehear “ La ziguezon ”, “ La tapinie ”, “ Le bal chez Ti-Guy ” and so much more others!
