L'homme Qui Marche

There's a blog called "Folk Dance Musings"  that posts information about international folk dances.  A recent post was about "L'homme Qui Marche" from which I learned that the music is by the French bal folk group "Au gré des Vents", on an album called "Le Colporteur". I found the links by googling the band/album information in the blog.  You can stream the music from the album link, there are a lot of nice tracks, with the associated dance type given, in addition to L'Homme Qui Marche, and it appears that the music is available for download because the CD is no longer available or sale.   http://www.carnetdebal.org/albums/le-colporteur/15-album-le-colporteur-l-homme-qui-marche.mp3
