Les Witches is a French early music ensemble that’s all about bringing the 16th and 17th centuries to life with a playful, energetic twist. Known for their love of Renaissance and Baroque tunes, they dive into forgotten manuscripts and historical dance collections from the British Isles, Flanders, and beyond, turning stiff-sounding old compositions into foot-stomping, soulful experiences. With albums like *Lord Gallaway’s Delight* and *Nobody’s Jig*, they’ve carved out a niche for reviving lively dances, haunting Gaelic laments, and even psalms with period instruments like lutes, viols, and harpsichords. Their work isn’t just for history buffs—they’ve even dipped into film scores, like the *Kohlhaas* soundtrack, proving early music can be downright cinematic. Whether they’re unraveling Danish court music for *Konge af Danmark* or channeling Shakespearean vibes, Les Witches mixes scholarly rigor with a contagious sense of fun, making centuries-old melodies feel fresh and wildly entertaining.
