Loig Morin
Hey Vancouver friends, tomorrow night is Loig Morin’s concert and I am in the band playing cajón & percussion. French pop, infectious melodies and a charming performer this Loig! Come check him out.
I’m heading off soon for a little tropical getaway. And as I dream of stretching out under a palapa, sipping a mojito, and just staring at a turtle for a while, this is the soundtrack.
Enjoy, and hasta luego!
Michael

Here’s a taste of the Carnival edition of Electropical on Saturday, February 18, 2012. Navaro Franco and Yoro Noukoussi on percussion, with a special guest dancer. Big thanks to the performers and to all who came out!
Carnival arrives in many parts of the world on the same weekend as the February Electropical, so we’re tuned in to the spirit of the season.
Join us for the Carnival edition of Electropical on Saturday, February 18 at the Backstage Lounge.
It’s a masquerade party, so bring a mask of your own (whether it’s from Rio, Recife, Trinidad, Port-au-Prince, Santiago, Venice, or the Party Bazaar), or pick one up at the door at no charge.
We’ll dig deep into our ever-expanding collections of Brazilian beats, Caribbean sounds, African rhythms, Arabian waves, and Balkan bangers to keep you moving.
UPDATE: We’ll be joined by special guest percussionist Navaro Franco. Navaro is a founding member of DivaDrum, an all female rhythm & movement quartet. Her drumming experience includes training in Brazilian Batucada and Japanese Taiko drumming.
