Andrés Vial Quintet

Part of the cultural activities associated with the exhibition À plein volume: Basquiat et la musique presented at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, this concert by Andrés Vial brings together musicians from Burkina Faso, Mali, Brazil, Argentina and Canada to explore the deep connection between jazz and South American and African music. Instruments include piano, balafon, talking drum, vibraphone, marimba, bombo legüero and drums.

The music is inspired by jazz percussion ensembles such as Max Roach’s M’Boom and the Art Ensemble of Chicago as well as traditional and folk music.

The repertoire of this concert is different from the one presented on October 15 by Joe Chambers/Andrés Vial Ensemble
