She can be found on several Montreal stages, as well as across the Atlantic, notably in France where she has already completed two tours. LiKouri, whose name is inspired by both China (Li) and her Lebanese roots (Kouri), is a singer-songwriter, accordionist, and storyteller. She was one of three finalists at the MUZ showcase of world music in 2024, and since then, her rise has been meteoric. She has several projects underway, but one of them is with her trio, formed by Charles Cantin on guitar and Isabelle Gaudreau on clarinet. Together, they are the creators of the “Dans mon quartier” project, which they will present at Le Ministère on February 26, as part of the Mozaïk series of world music evenings, presented by Vision Diversité. For the occasion, Sandra Gasana spoke with Li to learn more about her career and her many projects for 2026.
