Vishtèn
Vishtèn is a Canadian folk music group from Prince Edward Island and the Magdalen Islands, whose style is rooted in Acadian music. From its inception, the group consisted of vocalists and instrumentalists Pastelle and Emmanuelle LeBlanc, and instrumentalist Pascal Miousse. This lineup was unchanged until Pastelle LeBlanc died of breast cancer in 2022 at age 42. After Pastelle's death, the group operated as a duo until longtime collaborator Megan Bergeron officially joined the group in 2025.
The group is most noted for their 2018 album Horizons, which received a Juno Award nomination for Traditional Roots Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2019. The band includes instruments such as fiddle, electric guitar, accordion, mandolin, whistles, jaw harp, foot percussion and bodhran.
Horizons also won several awards from Music PEI, including best francophone artist, group recording and roots traditional recording. In 2018 they also collaborated with Joseph Edgar, Robin-Joël Cool, Wanabi Farmeur, Lisa LeBlanc, Caroline Savoie, and Édith Butler on the album Grand tintamarre ! - Chansons et comptines acadiennes, which won the Canadian Folk Music Award for Children's Album of the Year at the 14th Canadian Folk Music Awards.
