What does Gospel, Soul, R’n’B, 50’s Doo-Wop, Brazilian forro and French Chanson have in common? Chic Gamine!

Though a newer name on today’s music scene, Chic Gamine, the roguishly charming Winnipeg/Montreal-based vocal quintet, has already won a Juno Award, Canada’s highest music honor (2009) and  its members have played  integral parts on a variety of special projects, notably R’n’B/Soul sensation little boy boom, Brazilian Funk/Pop flavoured Gaïa and International Independent Music Award laureate, World Vocal ensemble Madrigaïa.

With a solo percussionist as their main musical support, Chic Gamine use their voices as instruments, effortlessly launching into intricate string arrangements, bass-heavy rhythm sections and lush harmonies. These multifariously talented songwriters create a sound that resonates with soul, passion and an unabashedly random and sometimes downright peculiar brand of humor that reels audiences in and leaves them begging for more.
