Chic Gamine

The best acapulco music you ever heard

About Me

Chic Gamine, the roguishly charming Winnipeg/Montreal-based vocal quintet has been serenading its audience since the summer of 2007. By complete coincidence, the group is composed of the 5 « A’s »: singers Andrina Turenne, Alexa Dirks, Ariane Jean and Annick Brémault and drummer Alexandre Sacha Daoud. Gospel, Soul, R’n’B, 50’s Doo-Wop, Brazilian forro and French Chanson are infused into the voices and rhythms of these 5 schemers and effervescent songmakers. Come showtime, their vintage chic vibe is catching and no one gets left behind! And the whole is liberally dosed with the most total, sibylline insouciance unique to Chic Gamine.
"Chic Gamine is the new black." - Benwah (musician, producer, genius)
"A groovin' powerhouse of harmonic brilliance and beauty" - Don Benedicson (composer, producer, musician)
"Dynamic, profound and visceral entertainers." - Leonard Podolak (musician, The Duhks)
