Emile Benoit

Emile Benoit was, perhaps, Newfoundland's best known fiddle player whose unique combination of distinctive style and uncommon gift for composition made him one of the best traditional musicians of his time. Emile Benoit was born March 24 1913, at Black Duck Brook, Newfoundland, on the Port-au-Port peninsula on the West Coast; the same place where he was raised and where he died. The area has been populated by Bretons and Acadians from the 1820's on and is still mainly French speaking. Read more on Last.fm
