Barachois (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barachois is a Canadian band from Prince Edward Island that plays traditional Acadian music.
The members of the group are:
- Albert Arsenault - fiddle, percussion, bass, vocals
- Hélène Bergeron - keyboard, guitar, fiddle, vocals
- Louise Arsenault - fiddle, guitar, vocals
- Chuck Arsenault - guitar, horns, vocals
The group was formed in the mid 1990s. The name of the group refers to a barachois, an Acadian word for a type of shallow lagoon found on the ocean shores of eastern Canada.
Paul Gallant was a former member of the band and left some years ago to pursue a career with "Le Conseil des arts de Chéticamp" as well as writing songs for several artists from the east shore.
The band has separated recently. Chuck and Albert are now touring the maritimes and enjoying a success with the "Chuck & Albert" concept including music and skits. You can visit them on their site www.chuckandalbert.com or in french www.chucketalbert.com .
