Such energy!
And they always look like they're having fun.
But why "The Smiling Boot"?
Apparently it's a reference to a work boot with worn-out soles.
This multiple-award-winning Quebec-based folk group (or we could call it a "world music" group) has been around since 1976.
Travelling extensively throughout North America and Europe, "La Bottine" has seen many membership changes over the years. Now a ten-piece band, it includes a four-piece horn section (saxophone, trumpet, trombone, bass trombone) as well as keyboard, guitar, accordion, fiddle and upright bass.
And then there's Sandy Silva, their tireless percussive dancer and occasional vocalist. She's the lone woman in this testosterone-heavy outfit.
