Thrilling their audiences with their genre-hopping passpor t of Celtic reels\, flamenco\, Django-jazz\, Arabic\, Cuban\, and South As ian rhythms\, Sultans of String celebrate musical fusion and human creativ ity with warmth and virtuosity. Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenco gu itar\, while bass and percussion lay down unstoppable grooves. Acoustic st rings meet with electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound\, while world rhythms excite audiences to their feet with the irresistible n eed to dance.\nChris McKhool has an Egyptian-born mother who happened to p lay the piano\, teach classical theory\, and feed her young son as much Mi ddle Eastern cuisine as she did music lessons. From there\, the powerful v iolinist developed a taste for multi-genre string sounds and found a like- minded crew of all-world enthusiasts. When McKhool first heard founding gu itarist Kevin Laliberté’s (Jesse Cook) rumba rhythm\, their musical synerg y created Sultans of String’s signature sound—the intimate and playful rel ationship between violin and guitar. From this rich foundation\, the dynam ic duo grew\, featuring such amazing musical friends as nyckelharpa player  Saskia Tomkins.\n \nEqually at home in a concert hall\, folk and jazz cl ub or festival setting\, the Sultans have gigged at JUNOfest\, the legenda ry club Birdland in New York\, Celtic Connections Festival (Glasgow) and L ondon’s Trafalgar Square.
