As for Djely Tapa, the Montreal singer once again offers her repertoire drawing from her Mandingo and Malian roots, without neglecting many updates developed in her adopted city. Violinist, composer and producer, Briga also sings in French and English, Montreal style.

This first edition adopts a very special formula – it will host no less than 17 musical projects in the cramped but welcoming Sotterenea. Each performance is 10 minutes or less in length, and the order will be randomly selected, resulting in short but intense sets. Bring earplugs and a raincoat because a veritable storm of of decibels is expected!

With the participation of Alex Pelchat, Alexander Moskos, David and the Mountain, Girl Circles, Gmackrr, GRKZGL, Hazy Mystic Mountain, Lowebrau, Nik Forrest, Pinkki Pilvi, Provisional Mailorder, Roman Pilates, Scurvy, SKIN, Taskmaster, Transparente, and Wapstan.

(Cancelled) Eau douce – eau trouble

by Michel Rondeau

Under this aquatic title, three musicians – Kimihiro Yasaka, piano, Louis-Philippe Bonin, saxophone, and David Therrien Brongo, percussion – explore as many themes of the Japanese cultural imagination: the mystical aspect of nature, temporality, and the notion of movement. The music will of course take on the colours of Asia and will include works from the repertoire as well as a piece created especially for the occasion by Montreal-based composer of Japanese descent, Keiko Devaux.

Huu Bac Quintet, Mekong Waters

by Michel Rondeau

The instruments of choice for musician and composer of Vietnamese origin Huu Bac are quite unusual: the du dan bau (Vietnamese monochord), the erhu (Chinese fiddle) and the quena (Andean flute), to which the guitar is added. These exotic sounds are not, however, at the service of traditional music, but rather of a jazz with planetary colours, nourished by his travels and encounters in the four corners of the globe. He is accompanied by a violinist and a rhythm section with piano, double bass and drums, everything traditional.

(Cancelled) Jean-François Bélanger and his quartet

by Michel Rondeau

Jean-François Bélanger’s favourite instruments are not of the common variety. They include the nyckelharpa, the kontrabasharpa, the tenorharpa – a kind of keyed fiddle used in traditional Swedish music – as well as the Hardanger violin, a Norwegian variant. Over the past three years, Bélanger, who has enlisted the services of some 20 hand-picked musicians, has been fine-tuning his second album, Les entrailles de la montagne, devoted to Scandinavian influences and instruments. He is now ready to bring it out on stage.
