Canadian band Genticorum will be touring the United States in January of 2009 to support its new recording, titled La Bibournoise . Like old world storytellers, Genticorum spins Quebecois tales of mischief and a few of heartbreak and lament. Though well studied in the Quebecois tradition, they don’t take themselves too seriously. This is evident in their unique combination of sounds and storytelling, and a band name that comes from a nonsensical word.
