for those of you who do not speak French :

"bourée" is a slangy term in French that is another way to say "drunk"..

so for me - 'Raspberry Bourée' gets extra points for being quite clever -

on top of being very nicely musically talented

I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

.
Bourrée is also the name of a dance/composition form from the Baroque era. I guess the ensemble in the video has named their performance with this in mind. Could the word be etymologically linked to the designation of a "drunken walk"...?
