Moskitto Bar
After their joyful Ottawa debut in 2022, Moskitto Bar returns to the Chamberfest stage for an evening of playful musical mayhem. With members from around the world, this “Made in Toronto” band delivers their fresh and zingy mix of Ukrainian, Balkan, Iraqi, Middle-Eastern, and French Celtic music in a toe-tapping multicultural buffet of sound that will leave you energized and itching for more! Featuring button accordion, violin, clarinet, double bass, oud, and percussion, band leader Tangi Ropars believes that connecting cultures builds a better future: “It is not only about the music. In a deeper way it is about the connection between cultures…” Who’d have thought that future building could be so fun?
