Our Take

Sultans of String's latest album is a musical feast fit for royalty. With their signature blend of world music influences, this Canadian band takes listeners on a journey across continents and cultures.

From the infectious rhythms of "Rumba Guajira" to the soulful melodies of "I Met a Bulgarian," this album is a whirlwind of musical styles and sonic textures. The band's virtuoso musicianship shines through on every track, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the mix.

But what sets Sultans of String apart is their ability to inject a sense of humour and playfulness into their music. Tracks like "Salty Socks" and "The Grand Bazaar" showcase the band's quirky sensibility and willingness to push musical boundaries.

In a world where so much music can feel formulaic and predictable, Sultans of String are a breath of fresh air. Their fearless experimentation and genre-defying approach make this album a must-listen for anyone tired of the same old song and dance.

So prepare to be dazzled and delighted by the musical alchemy of Sultans of String. This is one album that will have you tapping your toes and grinning from ear to ear. Long live the Sultans!

About the artist

Sultans of String

Sultans of String are a Toronto-based powerhouse of musical fusion, blending together Celtic reels, Flamenco rhythms, Gypsy-jazz grooves, and East Coast sea shanties into a unique and infectious sound that defies categorisation. Led by the charismatic and multi-talented duo of Chris McKhool and Kevin Laliberté, the band has been making waves in the Canadian music scene since their formation in 2007. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with McKhool's virtuosic violin playing and Laliberté's lightning-fast guitar work intertwining in a whirlwind of sound and energy that never fails to get audiences on their feet. But what sets Sultans of String apart from other world music acts is their unwavering commitment to social and environmental causes, using their music as a vehicle for activism and change. Their latest album, "Refuge," is a testament to this ethos, with songs inspired by refugees and immigrants from around the world, celebrating the diversity and resilience of the human spirit. The album has been hailed as a triumph of empathy and understanding, showcasing the band's ability to weave together disparate musical traditions into a cohesive and deeply moving listening experience. In a music industry increasingly dominated by trends and algorithms, Sultans of String stand out as a beacon of creativity and authenticity, reminding us of the power of music to unite and inspire. With their infectious energy, virtuosic musicianship, and commitment to social justice, Sultans of String are a band that truly defies categorisation, bringing together the best of world music in a joyous and life-affirming celebration of the global community.
