Known for their “électrotrad” sound, Mélisande blends centuries-old Québécois folk songs with modern electronic beats, hip-hop influences, and a fierce feminist perspective. Fronted by the mesmerizing voice of Mélisande Gélinas-Fauteux and her musical partner Alexandre de Grosbois-Garand, the group breathes new life into traditional “call-and-response” songs and old-world French melodies.Fresh off the release of her latest project, Sur la même longueur d’onde (May 2026), Mélisande’s performance at the Bohm Theatre promises a high-energy journey through time. Audiences can expect a mix of driving bass, traditional fiddle, and foot-stomping rhythms that invite all generations to the dance floor.
For over a decade, Mélisande has toured the world, earning Canadian Folk Music Awards and Independent Music Awards for their daring reinterpretation of French-speaking culture. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience one of Quebec’s most innovative musical forces right here in Albion.
