Excitement is building around the ongoing Artists Against Apartheid concert series, which unites ground breaking artists and musicians in Montreal in solidarity with Palestinian human rights. As part of the annual Suoni per il Popolo music festival the eighth edition of Artists Against Apartheid featured some of the most celebrated grassroots artists in Montreal.

Esmerine headlined the concert with a quartet performance that included an appearance from singer Lhasa de Sela, while saxophonist Colin Stetson opened the concert stunning the audience at La Sala Rossa with a performance that clearly outlined the reasons for the growing hype surrounding Stetson’s music. Also joining the evening was Jean the Hatchet a collaboration between violinist Sarah Neufeld of Arcade Fire and Bell Orchestre, percussionist Shahzad Ismaily from New York City and Colin Stetson.

Admirateur de Lhasa, j’ai été frappé parmi les rares photos d’elle trouvées par votre très beau cliché en noir et blanc, si émouvant. Quelle date ce concert à Montréal ? Avait-elle encore ses cheveux longs (on ne voit pas bien) ? Avez-vous d’autres photos ?
En vidéo je connais les splendides vidéos de Radio Montréal en avril 2010 que j’ai diffusées à mes amis. Existe-t-il un DVD ?
J’admire aussi vos autres photos.
Daniel
