History
Édith Butler carried the songs of Acadia from the kitchen to the concert stage and then wrote new ones in the same spirit. Her music rests on traditional Acadian material: foot-tapping rhythms, call-and-response choruses and a strong, bright voice that can move from a lament to a party tune in a single set. She comes from Paquetville on New Brunswick's Acadian Peninsula and studied literature and traditional ethnography at Université Laval, so her repertoire began as fieldwork as much as performance. Her 1969 debut, Chansons d'Acadie, was built on traditional songs, and appearances on CBC's Singalong Jubilee brought invitations to folk festivals across Canada and the United States. She represented Canada at the world's fair in Osaka and went on to tour Japan and Europe. Albums such as L'Acadie s'marie and Asteur qu'on est là mixed old material with her own writing and made Acadian identity sound joyful rather than mournful. Between 1969 and 2021 she released 28 albums, and in 1975 she was named an Officer of the Order of Canada.
