LES YEUX NOIRS To wrap up the festival and celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Chutzpah! Festival in style, Les Yeux Noirs will be headlining the Closing Night Party at The Venue dance club on Granville Street. Les Yeux Noirs are fronted by two violin-wielding brothers Eric and Olivier Slabiak. Considered and complex yet wild and occasionally raucous, Les Yeux Noirs certainly give notions of musical purity a good bruising. Equal parts gypsy and klezmer (with plenty of jazzy flourishes to boot), thisChutzpah!/Caravan World Rhythms presentation will take you on an exhilarating musical journey from Hungary to Armenia. Founded by the two classical music conservatory-trained brothers in France, the band released their first album in 1992 and this year released a ‘best of’ two-CD compilation Opre Scena comprised of their five studio albums. Les Yeux Noirs live shows are an exhilarating, winding journey, most often conducted at a pedal-to-the-metal, breakneck speed – perfect music to celebrate Chutzpah!’s 10th anniversary milestone. “The auditorium was filled for a reason… [Les Yeux Noirs] were voted by CityMusic’s audiences as the favorite band ever to play at its World Music Series. Alternating between incredibly fast and rhythmic instrumentals and mournful traditional and original songs, Les Yeux Noirs had many people clapping and dancing in the aisles over a nearly two-hour concert.” Columbus Dispatch When: April 8 at 8pm Presented by Chutzpah! and Caravan World Rhythms
