BEIJA FLOR

About Me

Distinct.From the beautifully haunting lyrics and vocals, to the complicated relationship of style and talent, Beija Flor is renowned for their remarkable live shows and contagious anthems.Through the production, performance and recording of original music, Beija Flor continues to engage audiences locally and internationally. With their second and brand new album “The American”, Beija Flor has produced a more polished and mature album that sets the bar in independent alternative rock.Venturing into their third groundbreaking release, Beija Flor are touring “The American” while conjuring up new ideas. Making many friends along the way, Beija Flor have collaborated with local heroes, as well as heavyweights like Blue Rodeo, The Weakerthans and Greg MacPherson.
