Emmanuelle Parrenin sings (in French) and plays the hurdy-gurdy, various harps, the thumb piano, the spinet des Vosges, the dulcimer, singing bowls… Founding figure of the revivalist folk scene in France, she toured everywhere and played with Gentiane or Melusine, as well as Didier Malherbe, Vincent Segal or Alan Stivell.
She is, however, best known for having recorded thirty years ago an enigmatic and beautiful album, “Maison Rose” highly sought and thankfully reissued : where ultimate post-folk meets trad and experimental electro-acoustic.
