Vishten January 16, 2011

Vishten's music is a hardy mixture of French, Irish and Scottish styles, with fiery fiddling and powerful step dancing taking front and center. Their stage show re-creates the joy and energy of the "kitchen party," the informal community gatherings where all are welcomed to sing, play and dance. The rhythms and melodies are inseparable, and reflect a special joie de vivre unique to the Acadian culture of Eastern Canada, with flying fingers, tapping feet, and an unabashed sense of celebration.
