| 2010 JUNO Award nominees and ôCanadaÆs ambassadors of musical |
| diversityö Sultans of String thrill their audiences with their |
| global sonic tapestry of Spanish Flamenco, Arabic folk, Cuban |
| rhythms, and French Manouche Gypsy-jazz, 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 with electronic |
| wizardry to create layers and depth of sound, while world |
| rhythms excite audiences to their feet with the irresistible |
| need to dance. |
| |
| The band is riding a wave of success from their sold out Yalla |
| Yalla! and MOVE Canadian CD release tours, to their national |
| features on CTVÆs CanadaAM and CBCÆs Canada Live, and their |
| quadruple nomination for the 2012 Canadian Folk Music Awards, |
| winning World Group of the Year. Their CDs soared to #1 across |
| Canada on Top Ten national radio charts, and Sultans of String |
| won the award for Best Variety Act from Festivals & Events |
| Ontario as well as the International Songwriting Competition! |
| The buzz extends into the U.S., with acclaimed promoter David |
| Wilkes (Emmylou Harris, Bela Fleck, Jesse Cook) now representing |
| the band. |
| |
| QueenÆs Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient and 2009 JUNO Award |
| Nominee, six-string violinist/bandleader Chris McKhool grew up |
| in a house bursting with music and diversity. His paternal |
| Makhoul grandparents immigrated to Canada from Lebanon in the |
| early 1900Æs. His Egyptian-born mother is a piano and theory |
| teacher. Growing up Chris was fed a steady diet of delicious |
| musicality along with Middle Eastern cuisine and violin lessons. |
| |
| From a very young age McKhool was taught the Canadian values of |
| tolerance, respect for all peoples and celebration of culture. |
| His passion for exploring the rhythms and melodies has led him |
| to the far corners of the world, collecting instruments and |
| styles everywhere he went. Travels to the Canadian Arctic, |
| Indonesia, France, England, Cuba, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica |
| and the Indian Himalayas to perform and conduct music workshops |
| have added to his depth of musical and spiritual understanding |
| of our global community. |
| |
| When McKhool (who has performed with Jesse Cook and Pavlo) first |
| heard founding guitarist Kevin LalibertΘÆs rumba rhythm their |
| musical mind-meld created the Sultans of StringÆs sound û the |
| intimate and playful relationship between violin and the |
| flamenco guitar. Sultans of String includes such amazing musical |
| friends as: guitarists Kevin LalibertΘ (Jesse Cook, the |
| Chieftains) & Eddie Paton (Robert Michaels), bass master Drew |
| Birston (Chantal Kreviazuk), and Cuban master percussionists |
| Chendy Leon & Alberto Suarez. |
| |
| Touring as a duo to quintet, McKhool draws from this collective |
| of master musicians to bring Sultans of String to community, |
| festival and intermediate/high school audiences around the world |
| including the Celtic Connections Festival in the UK, Birdland |
| jazz Club in NYC, Mariposa Folk Festival, National Arts Centre, |
| and performing with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Roy |
| Thompson Hall. |
| |
| Sultans of String are also available for performances with a |
| Cuban Trumpet Ensemble, and have an evening of music |
| orchestrated for full symphony orchestra. |
