Karine Et Rebecca - Karine Et Rebecca

Review by Xavier Appleberry

Karine Et Rebecca's self-titled album is an exquisite collection of French-Canadian folk music that showcases the duo's stunning vocal harmonies and instrumental prowess. From the opening track, "La Fleur du Rosier," the listener is transported to a world of traditional Quebecois music, with its lively fiddle tunes, rhythmic foot percussion, and heartfelt ballads.

The album features a mix of original compositions and traditional songs, including "Le Tourment," a haunting ballad that showcases Karine Et Rebecca's emotive singing and delicate guitar playing. The duo's skillful use of harmonies on tracks like "Le Rêve d'Amérique" and "La Valse des Mille Vagues" adds depth and texture to the already rich arrangements.

Karine Et Rebecca's musicianship is particularly impressive on the instrumental tracks, such as "La Danse du Sorcier" and "Le Reel de la Saint-Jean," where the duo's mastery of the fiddle and guitar is on full display. The album closes on a high note with "La Vie en Rose," a beautiful rendition of Edith Piaf's classic song that showcases Karine Et Rebecca's ability to infuse a timeless classic with their own unique style.
