JUNO Award nominees Sultans of String thrill their audiences with their global sonic tapestry of Spanish flamenco, Arabic folk, Cuban rhythms, and Gypsy-jazz, celebrating musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity. Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenco guitar. Acoustic strings meet with electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound, while world rhythms excite audiences to their feet with the irresistible need to dance.
The band has been recorded live on BBCTelevision, SiriusXM in Washington, CTV’s CanadaAM, CBC’s CanadaLive, and has topped community radio charts in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, The Netherlands, U.S., U.K. Live concerts include Celtic Connections (U.K.), Birdland Jazz Club (NYC), Canada’s NAC, Memphis Folk Alliance, and with the TSO.
“A new fusion of roots and classical…the results are mind blowing. Even though the instrumentation is different, you get the feeling this is Strunz and Farah or Willie and Lobo or Gypsy Kings taken to the next level…any fan of worldbeat or contemporary instrumental music is sure to absolutely flip for this gem. Hot stuff throughout!” ?Midwest Record, Chicago
