Séguin - Festin D'Amour (1976)

Séguin - Festin D'Amour

 In their lifetime of kin collaborations twins Marie and Richard Séguin recorded four excellent albums between 1973 and 1976......,Séguin,  En Attendant ,Recolte and Festin D'amour.   Their final album "Festin D'Amour" is a soft harmonic cosmic folk voyage with some fantastic instrumentation amd vocals.   

 Side two of this album is simply killer with two of my favourite 70's French Canadian songs "Le Silence" and "L'homme du nord". 

  Richard Séguin contributes a ton of the cool instrumentation including banjo, guitar, hamonica, mandolin while Bruce Murchuson adds violin with Yves Clouthier's mandolin and Guy Richer compliments with trombones, percussion, piano and electronics.   Behind all this prog folk layers is the delicate vocals of Marie Séguin who also adds guitar, flute and tambourine.
