Words and Music last Sunday

At Casa del Popolo in Montreal Sunday night, Ian Ferrier and Moe Clark shared the stage and the band (Pharmakon) and the results were hypnotic. There was also an amazing set by Senegalese griot Sadio Sissokho and friends, with two koras. I was happy to be there, on my first visit to Montreal in about seven months, and Cat Kidd dropped by too. Spoken word icons Fortner Anderson and Andrea Thompson were also in attendance - she's doing a show in the Montreal Fringe Festival, which is currently underway, and she performed a little sample for us between the sets. It was a fun mini-reunion. Just thought I would mention it.
