Dos Guitarras & Zalam Kao

Dos Guitarras | Candombe, Tango, Chacarera (Argentina)

Dos Guitarras is a young duo formed in 2023 by Osvaldo Rabunal and Nicolas Martin, two guitarists united by a shared passion for Latin American music. Their repertoire, both rich and vibrant, blends contemporary creativity with inspirations drawn from the traditional rhythms of South America—candombe, tango, and chacarera—mainly from Argentina, as well as sounds from Brazil, Venezuela, and Uruguay. Since their formation, Dos Guitarras has captivated audiences across Quebec with standout performances in Bedford, Frelighsburg, and Saint-Armand, as well as in Montreal, notably at La Petite Marche, Espace Amalgame, École Vincent-d’Indy, and the Montreal City Hall. At each of their appearances, the duo enchants listeners with their sensitivity, virtuosity, and the depth of their musical dialogue.

Zalam Kao | World, Jazz, Funk, Soul (Haiti, Argentina, Tunisia, Brazil)

Born in Montreal in 2024, Zalam Kao is the result of the meeting of five artists with wide-ranging and eclectic influences. Reflecting the city’s cultural diversity, the group embodies a vibrant and contemporary vision of world music. United first and foremost by friendship, Zalam Kao embraces the art of collective creation. The quintet brings together Clovis Lamarre (Tchobis), producer, mixer and guitarist; Antonio Dorsaint Manigat (Ogou Rayfé), singer and rapper; MoMo, multi-instrumentalist and jazz-trained vocalist; Lucas Melo, guitarist, double bassist and lyricist; and Edaï Larobina, singer-songwriter and instrumentalist. Their first single, “Tout pour toi” (2024), stands out as a bright, unifying anthem. In October 2025, Zalam Kao released their debut album, “Tou Lumin” — a radiant collection blending jazz, funk, soul and world beat, showcasing the group’s bold and distinctive musical identity.
