Description
Dominique Fils-Aimé graces the stage once again, unveiling her latest album “Our Roots Run Deep,” (Ensoul Records, 2023) a masterpiece that clinched her second JUNO award for “Vocal Jazz Album of the Year.”
After having explored her African-American musical influences in her album trilogy, this new show invites the audience to delve into the roots of her soul. She manifests a strong desire to connect with her higher self, her musicians along with the audience, with the intention of enveloping the listener in a soothing aural embrace.
Fils-Aimé won a Felix in 2019 for Jazz Album of the Year, a JUNO in 2020 for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year and was nominated for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize shortlist in both 2019 and 2021. The mercurial singer-songwriter hailing from Montreal dazzles the listener with her radiant voice and underlying message of empathy.
On stage, whether in Canada (doublebill with Allison Russell, Toronto’s Koerner Hall), in Europe (opening acts for Melody Gardot, Diana Krall and Ibrahim Maalouf), Dominique Fils-Aimé’s magnetic presence on stage leads the audience on a transcendent journey.
