Matapédia is an album by the Canadian duo Kate & Anna McGarrigle, released in 1996.[5][6]

Kate's daughter Martha Wainwright appears on the album as a backing vocalist; she is also directly mentioned in the lyrics of the title track.

The title "Matapédia" refers to the river in eastern Quebec that runs down to the town of Matapédia, Quebec, and then out into baie des Chaleurs. The rhythm of the river is supposed to be the inspiration for the loping beat of the album's title track.

The album won the Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year - Group at the Juno Awards of 1997.

Critical reception

The Chicago Tribune wrote that the songs "reflect on time's passage with a mixture of haunting ambiguity and bittersweet longing—qualities that have defined the duo's songbook from the beginning."[7] The Los Angeles Times noted that "the old-time folksiness of the McGarrigles' sound is in the foreground once more, carried by fiddles and accordions."[8]

AllMusic wrote that the sisters "return to their strengths by trimming back the synthesizers and sticking with direct, folky testaments."[2]
