Sultans of String

“They are players without borders… world music that transcends place and time with a heavy dose of playfulness added in.” —The Vancouver Province * Three-time International Acoustic Music Awards Finalists * 2010 JUNO Award Nominees for Instrumental Album of the Year * 2010 Canadian Independent Music Awards Nominees Canada's ambassadors of musical diversity, the Sultans of String, thrill audiences with a global tapestry of Spanish Flamenco, Arabic folk, Cuban rhythms, and 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. The band is riding a wave of success across Canada and is now ready to take on the United States. Come see the band that sold out their entire 2010 CD release tour, hit #1 on Top Ten radio charts across Canada, and received prestigious national awards too numerous to list here!
