Le Rêve du Diable (The Devil's Dream) is a Canadian folk music group from Quebec.[1] It is one of the oldest folkloric music bands in the province,[2][3] and has been performing folk music for more than forty years.[4]

History

The band was founded by Gervais Lessard and Claude Méthé in 1974.[5] In recent years the band's members include Lessard and Claude "Le Clin" Morin.[6] The band made their first, eponymous album in 1976.[7] They have since then released eight albums, the latest in the fall of 2013.[7]

In May 2012 Le Rêve du Diable received the Quebec Medal of the National Assembly.[8]

A documentary film about Le Rêve du Diable was created by filmmaker Feber E. Coyote in 2013.[9]

The band continues to perform and present workshops about traditional music at festivals.[10]
