Tri-Continental in Concert
Description
Bill Bourne, Lester Quitzau and Madagascar Slim present a truly unique and critically acclaimed sound that is soulful and present, intense and atmospheric. Well-recognized and respected artists with successful solo careers, they are indeed major players in the Canadian global roots, folk and blues music scene who have individually and collectively received 4 Juno awards and 10 nominations.
Together as Tri-Continental, something very special and magical happens with Bourne - the grand improvisor, Quitzau - kidnapper of the blues taking it to new dimensions, and Madagascar Slim - a fascination with tradition and evolution found him on the leading edge as promoter of a new sound - the Malagasy blues.
This is clearly evident in the music they create, where sharing and curiosity leads them on fascinating musical explorations resulting in their infectious sound where world, Celtic, Latin, folk, flamenco blues and African rhythms fuse into one.
