Additional Information
Malika Tirolien’s reputation is well established, having been regularly invited to sing with the supergroup Snarky Puppy, having been the frontwoman of the excellent transcultural group Bokanté, having previously collaborated with a host of Montreal ensembles including the Kalmunity Project collective and Nomadic Massive as a guest, all the while leading a brilliant solo career.
Her team-mate is less well known, but the excellent Caulder Nash is much sought-after by many Quebec artists and groups as a keyboard sideman. This time, he’s the equal of his renowned colleague, and with good reason !
Inspired by their respective astrological signs, the GemeniCrab tandem, or if you prefer Gemini (Caulder) / Crab (Malika), are currently touring as a quartet, and have been able to summon up some excellent musicians to record their first album, Gen Y Lens, which will be performed at PHI Centre on November 28.
In fact, this is where it all began, as GeminiCrab’s take-off is the result of a residency that enabled these Montreal artists to benefit from binaural audio technology. For PAN M 360, Alain Brunet met them virtually before they set off on their European tour, returning in their hometown at the end of the month perfectly honed.
