Sultans of String Christmas Caravan

$53.68
Celebrate the season with an adventurous musical trip around the world! 3x JUNO Award nominees Sultans of String deliver an exuberant performance featuring originals, world-music inspired classics, and seasonal favourites to warm your heart on a cold winter’s night. From fiery fiddle tunes to a Caribbean sleigh ride, this surprising and delightful holiday fiesta heats up when Sultans of String bring their signature sound to well-known gems such as Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, a Turkish twist on Greensleeves, Silent Night, as well as a Django-jazz inspired Django Christmas, and a Rumba-Flamenca-fuelled Jingle Bells.
Sultans of String are joined by shimmering guest vocalist Rebecca Campbell (Jane Siberry, Ian Tamblyn), Vocalist Rebecca Campbell, Nyckelharpa player Saskia Tomkins, Cuban Percussionist Alberto Suarez, Multi-instrumentalist Ken Whiteley and more!
Since forming 10 years ago, Sultans of String have hit #1 across Canada on Top 10 national radio charts, and received multiple awards and accolades, including 3 JUNO Award nominations, 1st place in the ISC (15,000 entries), and 6 Canadian Folk Music Awards out of 11 nominations. Bandleader and violinist Chris McKhool was recently awarded a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his work in creating community through music.
