La Maisnie Hellequin

“La Maisnie Hellequin” in medieval and traditional legends refers to a band of little spirits, led by Hellequin, making terrible noise at night…

The musicians of La Maisnie Hellequin play around this theme, making musical parades, to create a special atmosphere by the strange sounds of hurdy gurdy, bruegelian bagpipe, nyckelharpa and medieval drums, inspirated by the legendary world.

Line-up:

Sabrina Gelin: hurdy-gurdy.

Nicolas Baran: bagpipe.

Geoffroy: bagpipe.

Mathieu Lacrosse: nyckelharpa/drums.

Text in Old French (13th century) about La Maisnie Hellequin:

" Lor langue est plaine de venin

par aus sont perdu heritage

et desfait maint bon mariage

et mal fait por 1 pot de vin,

c'est la Maisnie Hellequin,

ils s'entrepoilent com mastins."
