Driven by a natural propensity to party, powered by a pronounced social conscience, Montreal collective Papagroove captivates crowds with a fusion of funk grooves and rock intensity, soul spirit and jazz verve, all of it rooted deeply in Afrobeat. Onstage, the horns blaze, the bass rumbles and wild percussion unleashes dance madness in the audience. After an utterly overpowering performance at the 30th Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, the group heats up our coldest month with a suave, summery show matching songs from their blazing Afro-funk debut We’re Not Blind with newer pieces.
