Les Hay Babies’ drop fourth album Tintamarre during free show @ SALA

In the true spirit of a tintamarre, an Acadian traditional parade of improvised music, Les Hay Babies trio of Julie Aubé, Katrine Noël, and Vivianne Roy are performing the entirety of the album for free at La Sala Rossa on Thursday October 3rd at 5pm. Inspired by their Louisiana travels in the spring of 2023, Tintamarre draws on the broad tradition of francophone music down South. This album promises to be a new and exciting chapter in Les Hay Babies discography. (Nelson G.)
