The full name of the band is Mélisande [électrotrad] and “électrotrad” is a good indication of their musical style.
Led by Mélisande and her accomplice Alexandre ‘Moulin’ de Grosbois-Garand (a former member of Genticorum, another great Quebecois group), the band has delivered daring and unique artistic performances to the folk-world music scene since its debut in 2014.
Their first two albums were hailed by critics from home and abroad. The group has done shows in Canada, Australia, France and the United States and with its infectious energy and engaging stage presence, the band gets the crowd stomping, dancing and singing wherever it goes.

Gathering huge support and acclaim from around the world, Melisande [electrotrad] present the traditional Quebecois ballad in a way you have never seen before.
Utilising drums and a programmed keyboard plus foot percussion, the band will inject high energy into the room.

Here is the recipe for Mélisande [électrotrad]'s award-winning cocktail : pour equal parts of centuries-old traditional songs, state of the art electronic instruments and relentless drums, add an once of fiery fiddle, peaty flute and hypnotic jaw harp, a dash of tangy banjo and a hint of full-bodied bass. Shake vigorously, garnish with a sparkling singer and serve on stage!
