Barachois was a Canadian band from Prince Edward Island that plays traditional Acadian music.
Biography
The group was formed in the mid 1990s. Hélène Bergeron and Albert Arsenault are siblings,[1] and Louise Arsenault is a distant cousin of theirs, but Chuck Arsenault is not related.[2] The name of the group refers to a barachois, an Acadian word for a type of shallow lagoon found on the ocean shores of eastern Canada.
Paul Gallant was a former member of the band and left some years ago to pursue a career with "Le Conseil des arts de Chéticamp" as well as writing songs for several artists from the east shore.
The band's self-titled debut album was nominated in 1997 for three East Coast Music Awards, winning one of them, Francophone Recording of the Year.[3]
Barachois has toured Canada and the US, as well as 11 other countries.[2]
