DOUBLE BILL
Less Toches (Montreal)
Beto Jamaica Rey Vallenato (Colombia)
featuring guest: DJ Oonga
An enchanting evening of cumbia and vallenato music, two emblematic musical genres of Colombia, featuring a double bill performance by the explosive Montreal quintet, Less Toches, and the legendary Beto Jamaica Rey Vallenato.
Less Toches! This Montreal quintet, stemming from diverse Colombian, Mexican, and Argentine origins, creates an explosive musical fusion, inducing an unexpected, refreshing, and intoxicating cumbia big bang. With every performance, they rediscover the profound magic of their childhood, offering us a paradisiacal sensation in a parallel dimension of the rural and riverside spirit of “cumbia colombiana” and “música de acordeón”. “Pura parranda sabanera.”
Directly following from Colombia, we’ll have Beto Jamaica Rey Vallenato. Alberto “Beto” Jamaica is one of the foremost ambassadors of vallenato, one of the most popular folk music genres in his country. His music is a vibrant blend of cumbia, paseo, and porro, all wrapped in his unique vallenato style, driven by three instruments that form the core of a traditional vallenato ensemble: the accordion, the iconic instrument of vallenato, the guacharaca, and the caja vallenata. Remaining true to his roots, he adds a touch of modernity by incorporating electric bass, congas, and timbales, thus offering a contemporary interpretation of this traditional music.
