Réveillons!
Friday 10:30 pm / Saturday 3:00 pm (Gazebo)
Saturday 9:00 pm - Family Dance (Cultural Center)
Réveillons! is a quintet that draws the crowd with arrangements that have simmered in sulfur and asphalt, resolutely assertive and caustic traditional music, with its rush hours and its traffic jams, its terrace and its barbecue. Music that sings like the house sparrow, howls like the neighbor's dog and roars like a lawnmower.
