Hi Claudio,

I'm reaching out about Finnish and Beninese group Helsinki-Cotonou Ensemble who come July 7, will release their new album Fire, Sweat and Pastis in North America. They’re also getting ready to tour areas of Canada! I've pasted the upcoming tour dates below. 

7/07/2016: Montreal Jazz Festival - Turkish Airlines CBC/Radio-Canada Stage, Montreal, QC
7/08/2016: SunFest, London, ON
7/10/2016: Kultrún Festival, Kitchener, ON
7/12/2016: Lula Lounge, Toronto, ON
7/13/2016: Festival d’ete de Québec - Hydro-Québec Stage, Quebec, QC

On Fire, Sweat and Pastis, the Ensemble’s second album available in North America, the octet of musicians experienced in jazz, funk, R&B, and traditional Beninese music intertwine the percussive rhythms of West African Vodun with funky basslines, soulful call-and-response vocals, and virtuosic brass and woodwind melodies.  They invite listeners to join them on a musical journey that is equal parts celebration and reflection.

Can you help us get the word out about this release and tour? Stream the album; check out the press release, more info about the tour, and high-res images here: http://helsinki.rockpaperscissors.biz/ 

Let me know what you think!

Thanks,
Sam
