Looks like they are Canadian, québecoises. I searched it because the guitar fretboard seemed weird, too many frets. It’s microtonal, but probably not all the range.

Only a couple of Frenchpersons would even try this, let alone pull it off.

 

I am smitten.

Unrelated:  This mashup is so smooth, just (chef's kiss)

Throwing in Santana at the end just elevates it that much more.

Thought this was worth a re-listen, given the movie release:

^^ I remember a party even before high school, we were a little drunk and watched this and The Man With The Child In His Eyes videos....there were like 7 of us just transfixed at her beauty and movement....so lovely!

What a coincidence -- someone on Facebook asked where we first heard Kate Bush -- several of us answered the same:  her appearance on SNL -- you say 'transfixed', I said 'mesmerizing':

I enjoyed watching this guy go apoplectic:

 

Definitely microtonal.

Pretty sure I have posted this before but, personally, I need to listen to it fairly regularly.

She's a treasure.  Every time I've seen her live, she's been great.  First time was touring Life on a String, then the show right after 9/11 when she did effectively the same set as on the live album, Live in New York aka Live at Town Hall, and then once at the Birchmere where she had technical difficulties and she was STILL great.

I actually just quoted the grits section of New Jersey Turnpike to a group of people from the South that were arguing for and against grits.

(Referencing an older discussion about music vs musicals) I'm not a fan of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar....but I love that song "I Don't Know How To Love Him."  What a wonderful rendition!  Especially considering it is not in their native language.  The folk song and their harmonies was wonderful too.

 

Glad you enjoyed it!  Pelageya has been one of my favourite singers for the past 10 years or so, she has a really good feel for the music and how to interpret it.  She could be singing anything from Soviet love songs to new age pop and it all somehow sounds right.  

Singing in Portuguese, just because

 

And back to Soviet love songs

Heard this on the local college radio station the other day and kind of liked it. Need to look into them more.
