La Volée d'Castors is a dynamic and celebrated folk music ensemble hailing from Quebec, Canada, known for their vigorous reimagining of traditional French-Canadian music blended with influences from various genres, such as Celtic, rock, and world rhythms. Formed in the mid-1990s, the group quickly distinguished themselves with their pulsating rhythms, intricate accordion and fiddle melodies, and the spirited foot-tapping percussion that is a hallmark of Québécois trad music. Enthusiastic about preserving and promoting Francophone musical heritage, they infuse their performances with energy and contemporary flare, captivating audiences worldwide.

Over the years, La Volée d'Castors has continued to build their discography and their reputation, with albums such as "Le retour," which showcases not only their musical prowess but also their ability to adapt and evolve while staying true to their roots. "L'album du temps des fêtes" and "Y a du monde à' messe" capture the essence of Quebec's festive culture and remain popular, particularly during holiday seasons. Their other works, including "Migration," "VDC," "Par monts et par vaux," and "Galant," are testaments to their consistent creativity and dedication to their craft, ensuring the timeless appeal of traditional music through modern interpretation and boundless energy.
