Montreal band TEKE::TEKE delivered a concert that lived up to the expectations of their ecstatic crowd this Friday, September 26th at the Rialto Theatre as part of their appearance at POP MTL. Presenting a collection of their inspired discography, they played through their albums Hagata, Shirushi, and even Jikaku (EP), not to mention the favorite Ezio’s Family, featured on the new Assassin’s Creed.
Flamboyant costumes, eccentric masks, projections of geometric or cloudy figures: we understand that the seven accomplices offered a crazy performance where the energy was at its maximum, both on stage and in the audience.
We were treated to original solos from Yuki Isami on the transverse flute, a complex score from Étienne Lebel on the trombone and some moments of raw power from Maya Kuroki on vocals, who was magnetic. Japanese inspiration… unclassifiable!
Inhabiting the stage like her home, sometimes dancing in a contemporary manner and sometimes shouting into the megaphone, she took us on a tour of the plays Meikyu, Setagaya Koya and Ai No Kozuna with passion.
In front of around a thousand people having a blast on the dance floor, the Rialto was transformed into a place of festive trance, worthy of the biggest festivals.
