HARMONIUM EN CALIFORNIE / IN CALIFORNIA

This video documents Harmonium's first (and only, if I'm not mistaken) tour of the United States. I'm sorry to say this VHS will be much more pleasurable for those who understand French (and even more so for French-Canadians) as most of the video is narrated in French and deals with the aspects of Canadian culture in America. However, there is also a lot of English speaking (though the French subtitles may become annoying), and the concert footage is in the universal language of music, it will still ge very good to non-French folk.

Filled with both concert footage and interviews (in French and English), and a short documentary on the band's travels southward in California, Harmonium en Californie is excellent. Though plagued by poor quality, and surprisingly short length, this is a very good video and should be sought after by French speaking, devoted Harmonium fans. Casual fans should not go to lengths to watch this, however, and it is by no means essential.
