Musical artists whose reputation and talent shines bright well beyond our borders are making a stop to offer us free and lovely Musical Escapades, in the heart of the summer.
THIS WEEKEND: Saturday July 8 at 1pm, Senegalese-born master percussionist Élage Diouf will hit the stage with his fusion of pop, world, blues, folk and asiko sounds that captures audiences everywhere, as they sing along with him in his native wolof tongue. He'll be playing, amongst others, songs from his latest album, Mélokàane.
"One of those moving and candid voices from which emerges the beauty of the human spirit."
- Ralph Boncy, ICI Musique

ALSO: on Saturday July 8 at 2:30pm, Colombia-native Ramon Chicharron will capture audiences with his off the wall compositions that unfold in a mixture of fiery electric guitar and brass and woodwind instruments.
"An energy-filled tornado, Ramon Chicharron has created his own sound, the cumbia chicharronica, a refreshing, strong and sometimes revolutionary musical mix inspired by the traditional rhythms of cumbia, champeta, bullerengue, corrido, tambora and other puyas [...]."
