I guess that it is a tribute to the multi-cultural world that we live in that a former citizen from France could establish himself in Quebec by singing a pop-reggae style of music while giving off a cool as air Southern California feel. That, is Fuso. He was the opening musical act at the Canada Day festivities in the Greenfield Park borough of the Ville de Longueuil and organized by Longueuil est Culture. A first album, Fuso, par Fuso, was released back in 2016 and his most recent album, Danser dans la tornade, was released back in 2020. Like most artists who released an album during that year, they weren't able to do very much touring, so he was very happy to be on a stage with us and his band. His happiness and infections smile obviously won over many in the crowd, who lined up to meet him after his set. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/800sec, ISO 1600 at 61mm. Here are several more photographs of his perfomance.

If you'd like to find out more about
Fuso and his music, you can do so by following the link to his website. If you'd like to see the photographs I took of
Derrick Frenette & Friends,
Queenie and
Kim Richardson, you can do so by following those links. Another of those great finds that I get to see when shooting concerts. His music was the perfect pick-me-up for a post-plague world. We are post-plague, right?
The Canada party held in Greenfield Park and organized by the Ville de Longueuil and Longueuil est Culture called upon one of this Country's greatest voices to headline their party, Kim Richardson. Beginning in a family based group in Toronto in the 1980s, Kim Richardson went on to become a multi-Juno award winning vocalist who is known from coast-to-coast across this great Country and beyond. Though only having released five albums of her own, she is best known from her vocal performances at various festivals, events and television show. She had a few special guests with her on the stage, one of which being her mother Jackie, who is a rather accomplished singer of her own. A nice little family touch at this family event. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/400sec, ISO 1600 at 47mm. Here are several more photographs of her performance.
