Quebec popular music#
A skilled proponent of the turlutte is La Bolduc, whose satirical and sometimes racy songs were based on the Quebec and Irish folk traditions. She is considered an expert turlutte.
Song#
Turlutte is also the name of a fiddle tune in Quebec. It lends itself well to group playing and percussive use of feet and hands, as in the performance at Kyneton, central Victoria, where the Celtic Southern Cross Summer School produced this ethnomusicologically notable clip. It has also been rendered on guitar.
