Soleil Tzigane - Deep Soulful Gypsy Grooves

| More

Soleil Tzigane, Montreal

The band Soleil Tzigane gets discovered by renowned Canadian singer Karen Young, who decides to put on a performance of gipsy music in 1996. Inspired by the Gypsy repertoire of Eastern Europe and Russia, Soleil Tzigane records their first album in 2000 under the name Traky. The band’s unique repertoire can easily exceed over 20 hours of live-music, which is even more astonishing is that they never feel the need to rehearse any of it. Their magical dynamic, complicity and the beauty of their voices has won them audiences in Montreal and elsewhere throughout the province of Quebec.

This video covers two of their shows from November 2008. The band features six musicians of Bulgarian origin, and a violinist originally from Romania.
