Event Description

On Sunday, January 25, multiple award winning ensemble, Sultans of String perform their intoxicating and spicy stew of world, latin,jazz stylings at the Dancing Bean Cafe!


---------------------------------------

Sultans of String are Canada’s ambassadors of musical diversity. The band romps through an energized adventure of Latin, Middle Eastern, Gypsy–jazz and folk rhythms, celebrating musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity. Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenco guitar while a funk bass lays down unstoppable grooves. Acoustic strings meet electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound, exciting audiences to their feet with the irresistible need to dance.

Sultans of String have been called "groundbreaking…virtuoso…boundary pushing…infectious…visionary…brilliant…and absolutely stunning!" (The Live Music Report). Their debut CD Luna soared to # 1 across Canada on Top Ten national radio charts, and won the award for Best Variety Act from Festivals & Events Ontario in 2008. They were finalists in the Toronto, Ontario, Canadian and International Independent Music Awards, winning both the Best Song and Best Instrumental categories for the 2007 Ontario Independent Music Awards.


Sultans of String are six-string violinist and bandleader Chris McKhool (who has guest starred with Jesse Cook and Pavlo), rumba flamenco wizard Eddie Paton (Robert Michaels), and bass master David Woodhead (Loreena McKennitt, Stan Rogers).
