Sous l’étiquette Humidex Records, Errance (Jacob Desjardins) lance son premier album solo qui paraîtra le 25 avril prochain. Ce LP rassemble des pièces composées pour le documentaire "2012/Dans le coeur" et qui prennent vie en marge de celui-ci. "Timbres oblitérés" navigue entre des grondements subtils, des crépitements acouphéniques et des timbres harmonieux, évoquant les multiples récits de corporalités sonores oscillantes.

La soirée de lancement se fera à La Sotterenea, le 25 avril à 19h30 (show 20h) 15$ (NOTAFLOF). Il y aura en plus des perfomances musicales de Philippe Vandal et Joel Lavoie.

Boubé skillfully plays the guitar and drums. He is a singer-songwriter, and his first album recorded in Niger is titled “Issaktan.” His music speaks of peace, friendship, and always inspires a sense of travel. His melodies can be meditative at times, and at other times, they lean towards blues/rock. Some even nickname him the Jimmy Hendrix of the Sahara. It’s up to you to discover the musical universe of Boubé. ▷ SHAHRZAD AND HER LATIN-ORIENTAL BAND | Latin, Oriental (Cuba, Iran, Egypt)Dive into the immersive experience of an artistic fusion, where the enchanting rhythms of Afro-Cuban tradition harmoniously blend with the melodic richness of Oriental music. Founder Shahrzad Sabzehali is driven by an innovative and ambitious artistic vision, aiming to create a harmonious fusion of Afro-Cuban and Oriental musical traditions. Her artistic approach is rooted in innovation, experimentation, communicative energy. ▷ LES TOCHESS | Cumbia (Colombia, Mexico, Cuba) Less Toches is the musical collision of five explosive characters, an unexpected and refreshing big bang of cumbia on the island of Montreal. The eternal magic of the peasant troubadours of the South acquires here a poetic, passionate and amusing air: Less Toches takes its name from a Latin American bird, and a Colombian expression meaning “clumsy”. Humor and trance translate into a fresh and deep interpretation of the peasant and riverside spirit of cumbia and accordion music.
