▷ Aldo Guizmo | Afrobeats, Dancehall (Guadeloupe)
Aldo Guizmo, an emerging artist from Montreal’s vibrant music scene and of Guadeloupean heritage, invites you to an electrifying and unforgettable live performance centered on his latest project, Str8 Forward. Released in April and available on all streaming platforms, this EP masterfully blends dancehall, afrobeat, and Caribbean influences.
For this show, Aldo will be joined by the talented musicians of Solid Ground, with whom he delivered a remarkable live performance during the album launch. Together, they promise an energetic and immersive live experience, highlighting captivating melodies, dynamic rhythms, and introspective lyrics.
Each track from Str8 Forward tells a unique story: from resilience with Str8, to deep reflections on human connections in Friends, to the dance anthem Touchy. Aldo’s stage presence, combined with the synergy of Solid Ground, guarantees a performance that will deeply resonate with the audience while making them move to modern yet authentic sounds.
A live experience that combines creativity, vocal mastery, and a unique musical universe where Caribbean grooves meet the vibrant Montreal stage!
▷ Sal de Calle | Jazz, Afro-Cubain (Cuba, France, Brésil)
Sal de Calle is a musical collective that blends Afro-Cuban rhythms (son, rumba, sacred music) with the energy and freedom of jazz. Bringing together musicians from Cuba, Brazil, France, and Canada, the group creates a vibrant sound where powerful vocals, mesmerizing percussion, and bold improvisations come together. Each performance is a dynamic celebration, combining rhythmic intensity with rich instrumentation for a festive and immersive experience.
Beyond dance and celebration, Sal de Calle pays tribute to the Afro-descendant heritage, a history of struggle and resilience that has given rise to a powerful artistic expression. Through this fusion, the collective builds a bridge between tradition and modernity, embodying the strength and beauty of an ever-evolving culture.
