This Candlelight concert will make cities all over the world jealous that they’re not in Montreal that night. In a jazz version of the famous candlelight concerts, the tribute to a genius of his genre, MF DOOM, accompanied by tracks from other hip-hop legends returns to Montreal.
Lavender Town(not the pokemon town, but the band) will be sharing their virtuosity with you as they caress your ears with their secret jazz fusion, in a Balcon Cabaret Chic illuminated by thousands of flickering candles.
Who is Lavender Town?
With thousands of views on social networking sites, this alternative jazz fusion band has introduced us to their wacky world through a series of videos. Cleverly mixing their technique and jazzy sounds with unexpected music, we soon find ourselves listening to Nintendo covers followed by a Kendrick Lamar cover. Inspired by video games, these big kids of the 90s feed off their pop culture to make us fall back into childhood.
Candlelight Jazz: MF DOOM & Hip-Hop ft. Lavender Town
Saying MF DOOM and Hip-Hop is like saying candles and Candlelight: you can’t have one without the other. If you don’t know MF DOOM and you like rap and hip-hop in general, you owe him a lot. With his mask over his face, this musical super-villain has more alter egos than there are superheroes.
His name is directly inspired by a comic book, and more specifically by the famous villain Doctor Doom, and it’s no surprise that he’s a great source of inspiration for Lavender Town. In this candlelit tribute, his famous “Doomsday” will resound alongside Kendrick Lamar ‘s “Untitled 05” andAnderson Paak’s “Come Down”, among many others.
The Balcon Cabaret Chic, a well-known Montreal music venue, is the perfect setting for this unique Candlelight Jazz concert. With its warm ambience amplified by candlelight, it welcomes you for a moment where music takes center stage.
