Showcase Artists
Sagapool
SagapoolWith Épisode Trois, Sagapool lets its music travel without borders and preserves the free spirit and exuberance of its first loves – gypsy music, gypsy swing and klezmer, while adding ska, latin and folk rythms.

Sagapool’s new album was roundly praised by the public and the critics alike. Épisode Trois also reached #1 on the CIBL World chart for 7 consecutive weeks, #6 on the !Earshot Jazz chart and reached the Top 10 list of Montréal CD sales.

Since 1999, Sagapool has played over 300 times in Canada, with 4 major performances at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. The band sold more than 8000 copies of its first two albums. In 2006, the album St-Urbain Café was nominated at ADISQ (Quebec Junos) for best instrumental album. That same year, the group won the Roseq-Radarts award given by music promoters of Quebec. In 2007, Sagapool performed for the first time in the United States at Bliss Fest, in Michigan.

2008 was a monumental success for Sagapool, as they won awards from across the music industry, including the GALAXIE Rising Star Award at ROSEQ, Best Instrumental Group at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, and were nominated for Best World Music album at both the Canadian Folk Music Awards and at GAMIQ.
