The Intercultural Route

Foule’Art

Project in development

A musical and networking event, off the beaten track... and outside the summer months.

Mission

Foule’Art is bringing a professional artistic experience to rural communities, in the fall — when cultural offerings become scarce and a breath of fresh air is welcome.
Here, music becomes a vehicle for dialogue and human connection. Each artistic encounter becomes a true intercultural crossroads.

TWO HIGHLIGHTS

Talks & Encounters

Early in the evening, speed encounters and creative workshops let the audience meet the artists and discover their journeys.

Intimate Concerts

By night, the music takes center stage. In a warm and welcoming setting, discover the repertoire of the artists met earlier in the day.

Mission

Culture too often concentrates in cities in the summer. Foule’Art is betting on the opposite: bringing a professional artistic experience to rural communities in the autumn—when cultural offerings are scarce and a breath of fresh air is awaited.

Pèlerins des dunes

Pèlerins des dunes offers a hybridization of electronic music, world music, progressive rock, and jazz. The group’s unconventional instrumentation—central to its aesthetic—creates a festive and transcendent atmosphere. Their sonic arsenal includes synthesizers, transverse flute, clarinet, throat singing, darbuka, jaw harp, and electric guitar, all coexisting within a colorful and eclectic universe. Percussion and synthesizers share an evolving rhythmic foundation, serving as the sonic backbone for the melodies and improvisations performed by the musicians.

Carine au Micro

Carine is an African artist (Benin). Her interest in music started under the influence of herparents especially her mother’s. The year 1998 was a turning point into Carine’s artistic lifewhen she moved to Europe (France) and unleashed her passion for music by starting tocollaborate with various emerging musicians from the local scene.In 2004, when Carine moved to Quebec, she joined the Imani Gospel Singers Choir. It wasnot until she met music artists such as Lorraine Klaasen, Noel Mpiaza and David Mobioamong others that she really got her feet into the music world. That brought her toparticipate in 2013 in the Musical Comedy Mahalia Jackson at the Segal Center in Montrealstarring Ranee Lee (jazz artist winner of a Juno Prize in 2010).In spring 2017, she participated in concerts for Vision Diversité and Maison d’Haiti, and wasapproached by various audience members asking if she had any more personal work. Thispushed her to start the process of recording a solo EP, in hopes of following in the footstepsof one of her major musical inspirations, Angélique Kidjo.In 2018, Carine au Micro released her debut EP entitled “O La Si”. And in October 2022, shereleased her very first solo album entitled "Doto N'ase" which means "Listen carefully.She is now working on her next project that will probably be released next spring.

In Montreal, he brings together diverse talents and blends Haitian Vodou and rara with the roots of twoubadou, Afrobeat, and reggae.
