Calgaréal first LP "Vanishing Points" out on October 25, 2024!
Recorded at Studio Mixart in Montreal, and co-produced by Aurélien Tomasi and Hugo Blouin, this is an exciting collection of music about to feast your ears!
Calgaréal is a collective of musicians from Montréal and Calgary. Coming from different horizons, these artists find a common interest in traditional music and improvisation. Their original show presents their conversations in music; conversations between two cities often pictured as wildly different, conversations between different musical traditions. Playing with elements of traditional music from China, Quebec, and different parts of Europe, they present an assorted original program bouncing between various traditions and experimentation, with brand new compositions and arrangements.
From Calgary we have
FOONYAP (vocal, violin)
Jeremy Gignoux (violin, viola)
Jiajia Li (flutes, dizi)
Robin Tufts (percussion, drums).
Visiting from Montreal are
Aurélien Tomasi (clarinet, saxophones)
Hugo Blouin (double bass)
Mathieu Langlois (guitarra flamenca, saxophones)
Sébastien Leblanc (guitars, caval, tilinca).
