*DANCE* to El Balcón @Char's
Tuesday July 8th 2025 doors 6:30pm start 7:30pm
Mexican folk instruments... heavily danceable yet unusual rhythms
Montreal based Latin ensemble, El Balcón's heavily danceable yet unusual rhythms set the stage for the two voices of the lead singers that never sing a song twice the same. To see El Balcón live is to see a band of best friends who have all lived together at different points. This familial connection comes through on stage where their love of creating and playing together shows in their fiery performances.
El Balcón Bio
El Balcón is a collective that composes and arranges as one. They came together in the
culturally rich atmosphere of Montreal with a common love for traditional music from around the world and a desire to explore new possibilities in acoustic sound and groove.
As each of the 6 individuals learned and grew as musicians, so did the band evolve from being one that arranges traditional tunes, to being one that composes innovative original music, whilst never losing the acoustic spirit of the traditional music that inspires them. Mexican folk instruments like the Jarana, Requinto and “La Tarima” (Polyrhythm foot board for traditional rhythmic dancing) blend with microtonal melodies of the east on the violin and oud. All grounded with the earthy touch of an upright bass and an array of masterful percussion including cajon, riqq, pandero, and Kijada del Burro (donkey jaw bone). Their heavily danceable yet unusual rhythms set the stage for the two voices of the lead singers that never sing a song twice the same. To see El Balcón live is to see a band of best friends who have all lived together at different points. This familial connection comes through on stage where their love of creating and playing together shows in their fiery performances.
