More from the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal...
Merely a gentle patter, last night's rain, allowing the Scène Du Festival crowd an umbrella-free view of Argentinian guitarist and singer Federico Aubele. (Link to Wikipedia page: note warning. His MySpace page is here.) Aubele and his four-piece band offered up two 55-minute sets of a unique and elegant sound that, to my ears, blends Latin-American folk, Caribbean dub and electronica. It's all about amor, Aubele explained to the audience.
Two more photos on the following page: vocalist and melodica player Natalia Clavier, who has an EP of her own, and barefoot bassist Ashish Vyas.
