La Croisière Folk

Wavre, Belgium

La Croisière Folk is a 60-minute weekly music program created in September 2019 by the journalist Eric Cooper to enable as many people as possible to discover all the facets of folk music. It is produced by Eric Cooper (who is also responsible for technical aspects and programming). Actually, we should say folk music, because there's no such thing as Folk (with a capital F)! There's no such thing as "Folk", because there isn't just one "Folk", there are many "Folk". La Croisière Folk prides itself on playing good music. You'll hear folk (Belgian, Trad, French, Québécois, Breton, American, Canadian, Australian, English, Scottish, Welsh...), folk rock, bluegrass, Americana - anything that falls under the broad (and growing) umbrella of "folk music". It's worth noting that unlike other musical styles, folk music is, for the most part, handed down through oral tradition, and so evolves and blends regardless of borders.The show offers sought-after, eclectic, hand-crafted and diverse programming every week, showcasing the latest voices as well as classics from the 60s to today. The show is also a place where the most discerning fans will find what they're looking for, but offers an open musical program to allow those unfamiliar with the genre to discover it. La Croisière Folk focuses on "good music" rather than on specific genres or labels. "1 2 3" features on each program, allowing listeners to discover an album in 3 songs. These are either new releases or older albums. Once a month, the program highlights female folk artists by offering a 100% female line-up. Each program features a poem or fable by Jean de Lafontaine, and the audience ranges in age from 30 to 60. La Croisière Folk has made a big impact on the first European Folk Day organized by the European Folk Network on September 23, 2023, bringing folk music to the forefront through concerts and events taking place simultaneously across Europe.
