J’ai mal à mon folklore

"The musical signature is even more energetic and electric!"

Marc Bolduc, CIBL
J’ai mal à mon folklore

"The expertise of these musicians is unquestionable, as is their knowledge of the repertoire (...) De Temps Antan play folklore as if they were a power trio rock - we've never heard such a swagger in Berluton or Le reel des piasses, well-known refrains (...) the music from here takes on beautiful colors."

Philippe Renaud, LE DEVOIR
