Festival Pick Music

Opening Night Gala Concert Featuring
the Duhks; Opening Act Daniel Lapp

In four short years, the Duhks have been nominated for a Grammy, won a Juno Award and taken North America by storm. This genre-bending band has impressed audiences from Nashville and New York City to Australia. The Duhks’ tunes start with Irish dance music and add soul, gospel, North American folk, Brazilian samba, old time string band riffs and zydeco, distilling these eclectic ingredients into their own clever new brew. The Duhks’ worldwide success is proving they’re on to something very special.

Joining them is special guest Daniel Lapp, BC’s award-winning fiddler and musical adventurer whose live performances always have the audience buzzing. Lapp has toured with Ricky Lee Jones and Spirit of the West, performed with Bowfire, and was a huge hit at CelticFest in 2007. With these two acts the first night kick-off for CelticFest 2009 will deliver extraordinary entertainment value!

Festival Pick Music Dance

CelticSalsa - Celts & Cubans United!
Featuring The Paperboys together
with Puro Son

The energy and rhythms of two of the world’s great music traditions come together, as two of Canada’s finest Celtic and Salsa bands perform together on stage for the very first time.

The Paperboys' Juno-Award winning music has never stopped evolving. Tom Landa’s band still includes plenty of original Celtic sounds in its eclectic repertoire, but there’s much more on offer these days. Call it 'Guinness with a tequila chaser while listening to an Americana Jukebox'!

Puro Son was created by world-renowned Cuban trumpet player Miguelito Valdes, who has toured with Buena Vista Social Club diva Omara Portuando. His salsa band delivers tight, original arrangements that showcase its seductive and spicy contemporary Cuban sound. The band includes Cuban trumpet player and percussionist Chocolate, whose credentials include a multi-year stint with Cuban maestro Cesar Pedroso’s “Pupy y los que Son Son”.

This unique collaboration will offer great musicianship, a vast range of rhythms with brilliant brass and blazing fiddles and a packed dance floor – all the necessaries for a spectacular night.
