Young Tradition Festival

Hosted by New Brunswick’s La Famille Leblanc

The LeBlanc family is a musical family of at least 6 generations. Today Robin LeBlanc, accompanied by his wife Rebecca and their three daughters, perpetuate this tradition. The three LeBlanc sisters step dance (a rhythmic dance performed with the feet) to the sound of Robin’s fiddle (violin) who plays tunes played by his great-great grandfather. Charlotte, the eldest daughter, plays the violin, Rosalie plays the concertina and accompanies her sister at the piano, and Mélodie tops it up with her feet work and whistle. Rebecca, their mother, harmonizes her voice to theirs while interpreting many of the oldest Acadian-French ballads. To the rhythm of the music, La famille LeBlanc will make you dance to her calls for a true Acadian kitchen party experience.
