Daring and different: Two of Montreal’s best vocalists team up to celebrate raw artistic talent in a spectacular live show.

Two of Montreal’s most talented vocalists and unique musical acts, Amanda Mabro and Elsiane, are combining their unique styles for a double-header show that promises to offer something exciting and eclectic to the Montreal music scene. The concert takes place at Cabarte Juste Pour Rire on Friday, November 27th. Stylistically, they are an unlikely pairing. Amanda Mabro is a sassy songstress with a vivacious presence whose latest set of sister EPs Red Rows/Wine Flows was touted by CBC as being a “groundbreaking piece of pop music”, while Elsiane’s latest album, Hybrid, has been celebrated for its rhythmic foundation and intimate haunting vocals.

The common thread is raw talent. Both Elsiane and Amanda Mabro focus on vocal talent first, supported by dedicated artistic sensibilities and spectacular live performances. There is nothing common or ordinary about either of these musicians. By coming together, they offer something even more daring and different, reflecting the creative vibe of Montreal by fusing together diverse sounds and styles.

Amanda Mabro
Amanda has toured Canada several times, showcased at festivals such as NXNE and the Toronto Jazz Festival and shared stages with Celine Dion, Arcade Fire, Jorane, Vanessa Carlton, Raul Midon and Franz Ferdinand. Two rousing performances in front of 20,000 spectators at the 2008 Montreal International Jazz Festival prompted the sale of 300 albums in 30 minutes. Her first-ever French language release, “Nuit Blanche,” was turned into a stunning Tim Burton-esque music video created by Montreal/Hollywood concept artist Meinert Hansen and is in rotation on Much Music Canada.

“I love the idea of an event that celebrates music that is artful, interesting, and entertaining with asolid vocalist at the forefront. I’m really excited to share the stage with an awesome artist like Elsiane and feel our different styles will make for a really fun and compelling night”.

Elsiane

Elsiane has toured Canada and the US, and has participated in several festivals such as the Toronto International Film Festival, the International Jazz festival in Montreal, Osheaga and M for Montreal. Elsiane has collaborated with several artists such as Delerium, Bookashade, Dredg and has composed the score for the theme song of the main event celebrating the 400 years of Quebec. Elsiane’s single “Vaporous” was featured as the main theme for the publicity campain for the QC movie ”Polytechnique”. Elsiane’s evocative compositions organically blend a pop sensibility with influences that range from classical music to jazz, rock and electronic. ”I’m looking forward to this event and sharing the stage with a talented Montreal singer such as Amanda, it’s not everyday where you get to have a show that is all dedicated to the voice”.
