a reason for fans of free/avant music to hit montreal this june

[seripop]

The Suoni Per Il Popolo Festival (Sounds for the People Festival) presents Liberation music to audiences in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Liberation music is inspired by freedom of expression, improvisation, and sonic exploration and appeals to music aficionados world wide. Liberation music is comprised of an eclectic collection of genres which includes but is not limited to free jazz, noise, electronica, turntable art, soundscapes, experimental rock, electronica, musique actuelle and spoken word. Given the context in which much of this music is made and the reaction it provokes, it is also music that resonates with progressive social movements. The festival presents both established musicians who bring a wealth of tradition, experience and history to their playing as well as younger, emerging artists.

i thought a couple people (grzeca , plantweed) here might be interested.

[Grzeca]

Any fest with Joe McPhee gets its legit right there.
