BRIGA

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) ************************************************************ *****************"...given the combination of high energy and unspoken intimacy of Briga's show...audience members and fellow musicians alike have commented that Briga seems to transcend reality when onstage—the music seems to move through her..." by Erica Ruth Kelly - Rover Arts Magazine, February 2009 ************************************************************ ***************** An avid violinist in Montreal's world music and gypsy music scene, Briga brings eastern European folk violin to the forefront and into a realm of New World Influences. Briga’s violin and vocals transports us to a colorful, energetic, gripping and sensual world all the while encouraging excellent musicianship and improvisation. Briga brings us through divers musical landscapes such as world/urban/funk/jazz/groove, and songwriting/narrative, and always remaining true to its eastern European roots. Keep an eye out for Briga's debut album to be released in April 2009! ************************************************************ *****************Une violoniste très connue dans le domaine dess musiques du monde et musiques tzigane à Montréal, Briga s’inspire des sonorités traditionnelles du violon de l’Europe de l’est et nous transporte dans les musiques du monde métissées. Le violon et la voix de Briga nous offre une musique colorée, pleine d’énergie, sensuelle, tout en encourageant l’improvisation des musiciens. Divers paysages sonores sont parcourus, imbibés d’influences world/urban/funk/jazz/groove et de textes narratifs pour nous envoûter. Gardez un oeuil overt pour le nouvel album de Briga qui sortira en Avril 2009!
