        History

        “Mélisande [électrotrad] offers an energetic blend of traditional music, pop and electro with a mix of acoustic and electric instruments, vocal harmonies and programming. Formed by Mélisande and her husband Alexandre ‘Moulin’ de Grosbois-Garand, the duo offers a fresh artistic proposal to the folk-world-trad music scene since its debut in 2014. From repertoire research in folklorists collections, to excavations in archive centers and then by collecting traditional songs from elders along the Richelieu River, the duo has been able to remain rooted in tradition while creating a modern sound. Its fourth album Flash de mémoire (2021) presents a mix of traditional classics as well as covers from famous Québec artists influenced by trad music. Greatly acknowledged by critics in Canada and abroad, the duo won a Canadian Folk Music Award and two Independent Music Awards as well a being nominated for several other awards. Four seasoned musicians on stage giving a powerful show with an infectious energy and engaging stage presence. The band performed over 300 concerts in Canada, the United States, France, Spain and Australia.” https://melisandemusic.com/bio
