One of Canada’s Hottest Roots Music Acts Shake Things Up With Revved Up Riffs. Canada’s high octane string slingers, Sultans of String, bring their revved up roots-jazz-worldbeat mash-up to South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center.
Known for dizzying music jams, poly-rhythms and raucous riffs, the Sultans of String sound can’t be pinned down — its Sable Island meets the Silk Road, with detours through the Gypsy-Jazz coffeehouses of Eastern Europe, next an East Coast Kitchen Party, then over to the bustling markets of Cuba! Fiery violin dances with kinetic guitar while a funky bass lays down unstoppable grooves. Throughout, acoustic strings meet electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound.
Sultans of String are led by JUNO-nominated six-string violinist Chris McKhool (Jesse Cook, Pavlo) who grew up in a Lebanese-Egyptian (Makhoul) house bursting with music and diversity. Growing up, Chris was fed a steady diet of delicious musicality alongside Middle Eastern cuisine and violin lessons.
Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 day of show. To purchase tickets call 786-573-5300 or visit SMDCAC.org.
