   About BRIGA
  I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) ***************************************************************************** "...given the combination of high energy and unspoken intimacy of Briga's show...audience members and fellow musicians alike have commented that Briga seems to transcend reality when onstage—the music seems to move through her..." by Erica Ruth Kelly - Rover Arts Magazine, February 2009 ***************************************************************************** An avid violinist in Montreal's world music and gypsy music scene, Briga brings eastern European folk violin to the forefront and into a realm of New World Influences. Briga’s violin and vocals transports us to a colorful, energetic, gripping and sensual world all the while encouraging excellent musicianship and improvisation. Briga brings us through divers musical landscapes such as world/urban/funk/jazz/groove, and songwriting/narrative, and always remaining true to its eastern European roots. Keep an eye out for Briga's debut album to be released in the fall of 2009! ***************************************************************************** Une violoniste très connue dans le domaine dess musiques du monde et musiques tzigane à Montréal, Briga s’inspire des sonorités traditionnelles du violon de l’Europe de l’est et nous transporte dans les musiques du monde métissées. Le violon et la voix de Briga nous offre une musique colorée, pleine d’énergie, sensuelle, tout en encourageant l’improvisation des musiciens. Divers paysages sonores sont parcourus, imbibés d’influences world/urban/funk/jazz/groove et de textes narratifs pour nous envoûter. Gardez un oeuil overt pour le nouvel album de Briga qui sortira en automne 2009!

Hey..... stopping by to show some love to your page...

i am also stopping by to let you know that i am working with a charity that helps underprivilaged kids...

i am selling five songs online and contributing ALL THE PROCEDES to the charity where i will perform for the kids, and then take all of them to SeaWorld for a day of fun...

you can purchase the songs right off my myspace page and it would be a great help. i am already contributing over three thousand personally to the event but taking over 100 kids to SeaWorld with buses and everything is not easy...

Of course i would appreciate the support. Buy the music on the page and contribute to helping..


so on behalf of the kids i am saying thanks.
