Taafé Fanga
Unis par une passion pour les rythmes d'Afrique de l'Ouest, les musiciens et danseuses de Taafé Fanga offrent un spectacle haut en couleurs.
Le répertoire du groupe s'inspire d'une variété de rythmes traditionnels de la Guinée et du Sénégal.
Au déploiment explosif des percussions se mêlent les éléments mélodieux du chant griot, de la kora et du balafon.

Return of the Willis
Return of the Willis has been patiently waiting to start playing together for at least two years. This trio is comprised of three best friends who also play their best music together. They have not had significant time together it what seems like forever...but that shall end really soon...
The closest genre to WIllis' is "genreless". The sound could perhaps be described as anywhere from gently moving to humorously exploring to seriously bouncing.
After a year and a half of globetrotting, Quebec will soon be Willis' home once again and the band is more than excited to play than ever before!
This August will be Return of the Willis' first Shazam performance and they're already way beyond ecstatic at the chance to groove with so many great folks at once."

Dopleganger Effekt
We are Doppelganger Effekt, a group of non-like-minded individuals gathered together for the sake of creating unique music. Each of us enjoy very different styles of music & art: we believe this has a significant influence on our sound, which is different from most other types of music, & most often, different from what we ourselves expect. Being genre-less can be fun & we encourage you to try it yourself.
Nous sommes Doppelganger Effekt, un groupe hétéroclite d'individus réunis pour créer une musique unique. Chacun de notre côté, nous préférons des styles musicaux et artistiques très différents: nous croyons que ce fait a un impact substantiel sur notre son d'ensemble, qui est généralement très différent des autres genres musicaux et même souvent, différent de ce à quoi nous nous attendions. Exister à l'extérieur des catégories peut être stimulant. Nous vous encourageons d'essayer vous-même.
