Sunday, July 16, 2017- 8:30-10:30pm – World Music – Briga – Singer/songwriter and fiddler, Briga is the daughter of a Polish father, and a Québecoise mother. Her music is a reflection of her fragmented identity – half instrumental, half written in French and English, all accompanied by her fervent violin. Firmly rooted in eastern European and Romani folk rhythms, her unique sound is described as a Balkan/Quebecois mash-up, delivered with a Turbo Folk edge, wrapped up in heavy grooves that drive her wailing violin and sweet voice. Briga is supported by her Montréal based quartet: Alix Guéry (accordeon & keys), Tacfarinas Kichou (bindir, darbouka, ryk, guellal), Marton Maderspach (fiddle, tupan, drums), and Grégoire Carrier-Bonneau (bass).
