Sultans of String are an ‘energetic and exciting band with talent to burn!’ - Maverick Magazine.
With their genre-hopping passport of Celtic reels, Flamenco, Gypsy-jazz, Arabic, and Cuban rhythms, fiery violin dances with kinetic guitar, and funky bass, the Sultans of String have been thrilling audiences around the word.. and will be doing so again at the Queen’s Hall, Narberth, on Friday, February 2.
Celebrating a milestone of 10 years together, Sultans of String have hit number one across Canada on the Top 10 national radio charts, and received multiple awards and accolades.
Bandleader and violinist, Chris McKhool, was raised in a Lebanese-Egyptian household just bursting with music and diversity. Growing up, he was fed a steady diet of delicious musicality alongside Middle Eastern cuisine and violin lessons.
When he first heard founding guitarist Kevin Laliberté’s rumba rhythm, their musical synergy created Sultans of String’s signature sound - the intimate and playful relationship between violin and guitar. From this rich foundation, the dynamic duo grew, featuring such amazing musical friends as in-the-pocket bass master, Drew Birston.
Sultans of String have toured extensively over the years with appearances at the UK’s legendary Celtic Connections, NYC’s Birdland and The Lincoln Center. They recently sold out Koerner Hall (Toronto’s Albert Hall), and performed with Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Stratford, Ontario and Niagara Symphony Orchestras.
The band have performed live on channels such as BBC TV and have proved to be loved all over the world.
