The Mariposa Folk Foundation describes them as "Just awesome orginal Gypsy-jazz flamenco! Chris presents a wild and improvised musical journey. Along with Kevin Laliberté, the band romps through an energized adventure of Latin, jazz and folk rhythms. Chris McKhool's violin playing is a treat!"
Sultans of String are Canada’s ambassadors of musical diversity. The band romps through an energized adventure of Latin, Gypsy–jazz, Middle Eastern and folk rhythms, celebrating musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity.
"Groundbreaking…virtuoso…boundary pushing…infectious…visionary…brilliant…absolutely stunning!"
