Bodh’aktan

Bodh’aktan is a high-energy band from Quebec known for their infectious fusion of Celtic punk, folk, rock, and traditional Quebecois music. Formed in 2011, the group blends bagpipes, fiddle, and accordion with electric guitars and pounding drums to create a sound that’s both deeply rooted in tradition and infused with a modern edge. Their name, inspired by a legendary drink said to give strength and fearlessness, reflects the band's vibrant spirit and rowdy, foot-stomping performances.

Over the years, Bodh’aktan has built a strong following with their bilingual songs—both French and English—and lively stage presence. They've performed internationally and released several albums, including "Ride Out the Storm" and "De part et d'autre de l'Atlantique (Live)," showcasing their versatility and broad appeal across genres and cultures. Whether playing original tracks or fiery reinterpretations of folk classics, Bodh’aktan’s music is all about bringing people together for a good time.
