Quebec’s Le Vent Du Nord are on contemplative mood on La Part Du Feu, a trawl back through Francophone history.

“Octobre 1837” celebrates a French-Canadian uprising against British rule; “Montcalm” revels in the eponymous general’s victory at the battle of Carillon, as if the Plains of Abraham never happened.

But new musical colourations amid the reels spice up the relentless agit-prop: a Dixieland brass band on “Montcalm”, gothic electronica on the marital murder ballad “Rossignolet”.
