Yolande Pinard, Hélène Roy - Larrivée Des Premières Femmes En Canada

Review by Craig Ashley Russell

Yolande Pinard and Hélène Roy's album, Larrivée Des Premières Femmes En Canada, is a beautiful tribute to the first female settlers in Canada. The album features a collection of traditional French-Canadian songs, performed with skill and passion by Pinard and Roy.

The album begins with the hauntingly beautiful "La Complainte de Catherine Jérémie," a song about a young girl who leaves France to start a new life in Canada. Pinard's voice is clear and powerful, conveying the emotion of the lyrics with ease.

The album continues with a mix of upbeat and melancholic songs, each one showcasing the duo's impressive vocal abilities. "Les Filles du Roy" is a particular highlight, with Roy's voice soaring over the lively accordion and fiddle accompaniment.
