Néo-trad
Néo-trad is a
prefix
neo, meaning new, and the contraction of the word traditionnelle, as in traditional music.
History
It basically constitutes modernized Quebec folklore music, usually with rock and/or electronica. Some notable néo-trad artists are Mes Aïeux, and Les Cowboys Fringants.[1] Okoumé can also be considered a néo-trad precursor.
The expression can also encompass all Trad groups, modern times bands playing Québécois folklore (in a traditional way) like La Bottine Souriante, Les Charbonniers de l'enfer, La Volée d'Castors and Les Batinses. Inversely, the term Trad can encompass néo-trad groups.
