JANUARY 2023
January Guest : Romain Malagnoux
Passionate about West African music, Romain Malagnoux, author, composer, singer and guitarist, undertook a 4-month trip to Mali in 2009 in order to discover the musical culture of this country and meet musicians with whom to exchange. Romain will create friendly and artistic links with the djeli n'goni player Moustafa Kouyaté with whom, during a second stay in Mali, he composes, records and produces the album "Les frontières imaginaires", (winner in 2014 of a Canadian Folk Music Award and an Independent Music Award - USA) in the company of Malian and Quebec musicians.
On stage, Romain presents a few songs from this album and his latest soul, folk and pop style compositions in English, French and Spanish.
The listener can be immersed in changing emotions: melancholy, joy, tenderness, passionate love... The variety and energy of the songs are reminiscent of some of the diverse cultures Romain has been exposed to over the years.
Close your eyes and let yourself be transported!

November Guest: CÔNE ORANGE
Cône Orange is a modern music ensemble born in Montreal in 2021. Its compositions and arrangements of standard pieces mix a diverse range of sounds.
What does an orange cone do anyway? It redirects us from our intended path.That is the kind of experience people will get from their shows. Some expect jazz, others soul, but is it just those style that they're delving into?
No. They also bring bossa nova, funk, r&b….
But everything is smooth as hell, that’s for sure.
