Suoni per il Popolo est fier de présenter Alex Harding @alex.harding.75054 et Lucian Ban pour une soirée intime. Avec DARK BLUE (sorti chez Sunnyside Records), les deux musiciens célèbrent leur fraternité musicale avec un mélange unique de morceaux originaux et d’improvisations inspirées des traditions du jazz, du blues et de la musique de chambre européenne. De l’avant-blues aux improvisations spontanées, des morceaux originaux aux ballades inspirées de Sun Ra (Alex collabore fréquemment avec le célèbre Arkestra), DARK BLUE est un document saisissant sur deux artistes à maturité, deux vieux amis qui conversent dans le langage du jazz moderne. Accompagnés par le trio local composé de superstars Allison Burik à la clarinette basse, François Zaïdan au buzuq et ben grossman à la vielle à roue ! À ne manquer sous aucun prétexte !
Suoni per il Popolo is proud to present Alex Harding and Lucian Ban for an intimate evening at Casa. With DARK BLUE (out on Sunnyside Records) the two musicians are celebrating their musical brotherhood with a unique amalgamation of original pieces and improvisations informed by traditions of jazz, blues, and European chamber music.…

Ambient Church: Laraaji 'Day of Radiance'

DateFriday, April 10, 2026
Time7:15 pm – 9:20 pm
WhereSt. James United Church, 463 Rue Sainte-Catherine, Montréal, Canada
Join us for a special performance by celestial music pioneer Laraaji, presenting an expansive live set drawn from across his radiant, decades-spanning body of work. Emerging from the downtown New York loft scene of the 1970s and known for transforming the zither into an instrument of ecstatic resonance, Laraaji's music bridges devotional practice, deep listening, and spontaneous improvisation. His performances weave crystalline tones, gentle rhythms, and meditative atmospheres into an unfolding journey that evolves in real time. Inside this historic sanctuary, immersive architecturally-mapped projections will bathe the space in shifting light, shaping a fully enveloping audio-visual experience.
