15h30 – SHAUIT
Originally from Maliotenam in North-East Quebec, Shauit is the one and only reggae singer in the world, who sings in Innu-aimun. A proud representative of indigenous culture, he combines reggae, hip hop and folk with the Innu folk music repertoire to passionately convey the realities shared by people from the various First Nations communities.
16h45 – AYRAD
Andalusian and Berber rhythms, reggae grooves, Moroccan chaabi, electro-gypsy funk and pop-rock tinged with black music vibes, Ayrad fires on all cylinders with infectious energy. Emblematic of Montreal’s multicultural character, this sextet sings in Arabic and offers a festive blend that cheerfully transgresses musical boundaries. Deliciously jubilant.
