Gadelle

Gadelle, the popular traditional Acadian music group from Prince Edward Island, will return to Village musical acadien in Abram-Village this summer, where the group will perform in Ti-Manuel’s Barn Tuesdays through Fridays from July 7 to August 27.

Gadelle is composed of four musicians from the Evangeline region, all of whom have established international reputations in other groups. Fiddler Louise Arsenault and organist-singer Hélène Bergeron are former members of the groups Barachois and Les Girls, which are themselves recognized around the world. Singer, guitarist, pianist, and accordionist Caroline Bernard (also formerly of Les Girls) and multi-instrumentalist Rémi Arsenault have also performed on stages around the globe.

The members of Gadelle dance and play with joy, conviction, and ferocity. The sound is Acadian, the songs are in French, and the banter is bilingual. Their show is well rehearsed and ready to energize the crowd.

Gadelle presents two 45-minute sets, at 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm, Tuesday through Friday. Adult admission covers the full afternoon; students and children are admitted free.
