poet-musicians and musicians who understand poetry
passion, humour, intensity
this band turns music into poetry and poetry
into music
Launch of the Band de poètes’ CD with a performance of some of their
favourite pieces.
Le Band de poètes is made up of poets José Acquelin, D. Kimm, Geneviève
Letarte and Guy Marchamps, accompanied by Bernard Falaise on guitar and Normand
Guilbeault on bass. At this innovative group’s shows, the poets make music and
the musicians follow the words and whispers of the poems. An experience full of
excitement, humour and intensity.
For their first release, recorded live at the Va-et-Vient cultural bistro in
September 2004, the poets perform texts and songs for which they have written
the words and music. Produced by Les Filles électriques, the group was formed
in March 2001 on the initiative of D. Kimm, with the aim of presenting music
and poetry shows in Quebec and internationally.
Produced under the record label Monsieur Fauteux m’entendez-vous?, the CD is
a co-production between La Smala and Les Filles électriques. Distribution:
DAME.
