Abdel Grooz Brings Mozaïk to A Spectacular Close

Sandra Gasana — Sat, 30 May 2026 13:24:44 +0000

It’s easy to see why Vision Diversité chose to wrap up its Mozaïk series with Abdel Grooz and his talented band. Unlike the previous concerts, which were more intimate and introspective, this one was a completely different, vibrant show that left the audience in awe. It was intimate nonetheless, as Abdel shared snippets of his […]

Sandra Gasana — Tue, 05 May 2026 01:57:47 +0000

We may be more familiar with the term “gnawa,” but in Algeria, the term “diwane” is more commonly used—which, incidentally, is the title of Abdel Grooz’s upcoming album. Coming from a family of musicians, he was immersed in music from a very young age and had the chance to try his hand at several instruments […]

Gorillaz – The Mountain

Ethan Carleton — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 18:02:33 +0000

Gorillaz’s The Mountain is nothing exciting at first—just another musician at the end of their career who’s gotten their hands on a copy of Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha and decided to make some world music in India. Picture the sound engineer turning down the treble as the Billy goats enter the recording booth. It’s hard not […]

Sandra Gasana — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 01:19:34 +0000

Richy Jay is no stranger to the music scene. His career path has been rather unconventional: he began singing in church as a child, before turning to rap as a teenager and then to reggaeton during his time in the Dominican Republic. But it was in Montreal that he pursued a solo career, initially dabbling […]
