Jahnice le Sonneur will host a special evening which will feature some of Montreal’s most talented and exceptional artists and musicians, in a warm atmosphere on Friday, June 20th, 2008 at Club Lambi.

Jahnice has already demonstrated his ease on stage during numerous concerts as a member of the Kalmunity Vibe Collective, at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 2007, and most recently, by opening for Selasee, Nii and Odja at the Kola Note on the 12th of April 2008.

With the inestimable contribution of Productions PASA Musik, he had the idea to organize this exclusive event that primarily seeks to prove that the Montreal scene is abundant of promising talents. Together, they decided to gather artists whom they respect and immensely appreciate, who have been there for quite a while and who have made their mark on the musical scene. This show is therefore a golden occasion for everyone who wants to discover and admire these musicians and remarkable artists that Jahnice likes to call his big family. We quote NAMORI, the WES’ LI BAND and OMEGADOM.

Namori, a composer-drummer-singer native of the Ivory Coast, will offer us a memorable performance. During his musical career, he has accompanied many renowned artists such as Salif Keita, Mory Kante and Jean Leloup. Already having recorded several albums, he will draw from his compilation and will bring us into his world where sounds of Jazz and African music are mixed marvellously with the pace of reggae and soul inflections.

Wes’ Li, guitarist-singer born in Haiti, has shown his ability here and abroad and is very appreciated for his versatility. Having also made his mark as a musical director, arranger and producer, he has worked with Corneille, Gage, Senaya, Sara Renelik and several other artists from both the local and international scenes. His performance will be just as impressive as the one he gave during the Montreal Jazz Festival last year. With his group, the Wes’Li Band, he will present us his musical concept that includes afro - groove flavours, roots and reggae.

Omegadom, for his part, has been the recipient of “The Revelations Miouze 2007″ prize by the public’s choice. He is clearly one of the best in his class. Moreover, he distinguished himself as a singer-songwriter, producer, acrobat and multi-instrumentalist as part of the troop Line 1 supervised by the choreographer of international fame: Debra Brown. Now releasing his first album, Omegadom will make you discover, during this evening, his brand of soul music, funk and boogie.

Finally Jahnice, besides being the host of this event, will also offer us a performance in accordance with the concept of unity which surrounds this initiative. Accompanied by his band, Jahnice +, he will introduce us to his hybrid soul music that he elaborated with the producer Patrice Agbokou, bass player of the alternative rock band known as Islands.
