Kwé, Kuei, Hi!!!

Thursday February 6th starting at 10h00 pm

Café-bar l’Escalier; 552, Saint-Catherine East Street

This Thursday, February 6th, we present you Laurent McKenzie!

Laurent McKenzie was born in Sept-Îles and grew up in Pessamit. He has been performing all over Quebec since the age of 14. Author, composer and performer, he formed his first group Innu pacific and produced an album in 1997. Since 2007, Laurent McKenzie has returned to the music scene with three other albums Kanuelim (veille sur moi), Éponyme and Ni meshkanam (mon parcours). He is preparing a new album to be released in the fall.

Laurent's songs tell the story of his life and that of the Innus in order to promote his language and preserve his culture. His music is a mix of folk, country and rock. Laurent McKenzie is generous and his passion touches us deep inside.
