Au bistro des découvertes! #1 Patricia Cano presents Luisito

Au bistro des découvertes

Our popular series of musical pairings presents its third season!

Our sweet little concert series has been a big success! Au bistro des découvertes, as the name implies, is a place for discoveries in music, but also just a nice place to spend an evening. Our audience feedback tells us that this series has a uniquely personal and relaxed vibe that keeps them coming back. 

The secret to this special ambiance? It’s the special camaraderie among musicians. The formula is as follows: a well-known figure in Francophone musical circles invites us to meet a lesser-known, yet highly talented musical acquaintance. A high-school friend. A rising star. A talented back-up band member. A dream-come-true stage partner. One thing is sure: it will be a memorable encounter. 

Along with their musical recommendations, the host artists also share their food preferences by composing the evening’s meal menu. Their chosen dish and drinks evoke memories of travel and family gatherings or their go-to comfort food. Even the recorded music in the background during the meal is the host artist’s playlist. The overall effect is a special impression, as if we’ve been invited into a star’s inner circle.

Au bistro des découvertes, over the course of two seasons, we’ve welcomed the likes of Robert Paquette, Stef Paquette, Patricia Cano, Dayv Poulin, Ed Landry, Cécile Doo-Kingué, Simon Jutras and many more, including the series’ creator himself, Dan Bédard, in the company of their invited musical guests.

Like us regular folk, headliner musicians love to share their tastes in music with friends. So, come and be a friend! It’s one Tuesday per month, from September to December. Consider this your personal invitation. We’ll meet up soon, Au bistro des découvertes, season 3.

Patricia Cano presents…
Blessed with charisma and a fascinating voice, Sudbury’s Peruvian-born performer is a force of nature. She has two magnificent albums to her credit, as well as wonderful recordings made in 2021, during the reign of the pandemic, as part of a project entitled The Love & Resistance Sessions. This evening, she acquaints us with an impressive Canadian musician who, like her, is originally from Peru. 

Luisito
Luisito is the stage name of Luis Orbegoso, a renowned figure in the recording industry, where he has rubbed shoulders with a long list of big names in Latino music. He is a sought-after producer, arranger, vocalist, professor and above all, a phenomenal percussionist, a field in which he’s considered among the greats of his time. They say that to hear him once is to remember him forever. That’s what’s in store for you at your next evening Au bistro des découvertes.

Discover our artist godparents’ favorite meal of Peruvian inspiration from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., followed by the show from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

**Meals are by reservation only. For those who wish to enrich their discovery experience by sharing the evening meal, it must be reserved in advance, at least two weeks before the event. No orders can be taken on site. Thank you for your understanding.**
