Polkattak

Polkattak is a track by the Quebecois folk ensemble Les Batinses. The composition appears as the fifteenth entry on the live album Festival d’été de Québec 2001, released on July 15, 2021. The recording captures a performance from the 2001 edition of the Festival d’été de Québec, though the album itself was issued two decades later.

The track runs for 2 minutes and 46 seconds. It exemplifies the group’s fusion of traditional Quebec folk rhythms with contemporary arrangements, a hallmark of their repertoire. The album was distributed by Bell in CD format. No additional details about the track’s instrumentation, lyrical content, or specific performance context are publicly documented.

Les Batinses formed in the late 1970s and gained recognition for revitalizing Quebec’s folk music traditions through energetic live performances. The 2001 festival appearance from which this recording derives marked one of their later high-profile engagements. The 2021 release serves as an archival document of their work during this period.
