Les Verdasses - Les Contamines Montjoie

Review by Chris MacLeod

Les Contamines Montjoie is the latest album by the French folk band, Les Verdasses. The album features 10 tracks that showcase the band's signature blend of traditional French folk music with modern elements.

The album's opening track, "La Valse des Verdasses," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its lively accordion melodies and upbeat rhythm. "Les Contamines Montjoie," the title track, is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases the band's harmonious vocals and intricate instrumentation.

Other standout tracks on the album include "La Danse de la Pluie," a lively dance tune that features the band's impressive fiddle playing, and "Le Petit Train," a whimsical song that tells the story of a train journey through the French countryside.
