Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : Calypso / Caribbean / Dance-Punk / Dancehall / Funk / Hip Hop / Reggae / Rumba / Ska

Additional Information

Kitchen parties are a tradition in themselves among Quebecers of all backgrounds. Eli Levison, a.k.a. DJ Oonga, also known for coordinating the artistic direction of the Mundial Montréal event, professionalized the kitchen parties in his own apartment next to Parc Jeanne-Mance, memorable private parties that gradually evolved into the Sauce Piquante Sound System.

Under the impetus of DJ Oonga, this line-up of variable-geometry artists unfolds this Saturday at Le Ministère, from 10pm until 3am on Sunday morning. What a party!

All the spices of Sauce Piquante Sound System can be found in this global cuisine! It’s ska, rumba, calypso, funk, hip-hop and even punk. DJ Oonga will be joined by singers and rappers KC and Gioco, not to mention instrumentalists, guitarists, percussionists and other motivated voices. And all in French, Spanish, English and Portuguese… Babel Montréal has never been better!
