Cordial (album)


Cordial is the tenth studio album from Québécois band La Bottine Souriante. It was released in 2001 through the band's own label, Les Productions Mille-Pattes.
Like in the band's recent albums, contemporary instruments are added in to give the songs a modern sound. In this album, synthesizers, drums and mixing are introduced. The first track is even mixed with traditional arabic music. All the songs and reels are still mostly traditional.
