Get yourself ready for JOY! Montreal's many festivals are launching their programming and it is astounding! As you know, there are outside concerts at Place des Festivals and concerts inside venues for which you will need tickets. Follow this link to discover all the artists and sample their music: Festival International de Jazz 2022 

During the press conference an artist I had not known previously sang us a song. BOOM! I am in love! Her name is Léonie Gray  Her voice is evocative of the wonderful Amy Winehouse with a twist! What a de-light! 

Festival International de Jazz 2022 begins June 30 2022 and goes up to July 9 2022.

This festival will be almost immediately followed by Festival International Nuits d'Afrique on July 12 up to 24 July 2022. This precious festival lets us discover what African influenced artists do with rhythm and sound and the results are astonishing. You can see all the artists here and sample the magic!

I discovered Tiken Jah Fakoly, an famous world music singer from the Ivory Coast. I was blown away!

I enjoyed discovering Delphine Mounkoro, the colourful Dobet Gnahoré, and the stunning Ndaka Yo Wiñi  who gave a live performance on the night of the unveiling.

At long last, life returns to the city!
