Christine Tassan et les Imposteures
“Christine Tassan has dared and slipped into different harmonies. Very bold!”
– Coco Nette
For more than twenty years, the group has been working in the mystical world of gypsy jazz as first composed by Django Reinhardt; Christine Tassan and the Imposteures have won the esteem and loyalty of an ever-growing audience. True pioneers in a field usually reserved for men, and precursors of the gypsy jazz wave that swept through Quebec, these four musicians reinvent with their well-known singularity a music that, far from being frozen in time, adapts to all sorts of new ideas. From covers to compositions, the Imposteures' arrangements innovate, dust off, and give way to the unbridled creativity of four seasoned musicians.
The band's reputation is well established, with 7 albums to its name and more than 700 shows in venues and festivals, including multiple tours in Quebec, Canada, Europe, the United States and China. Christine Tassan et les Imposteures have been seen at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois-sur-Seine (France) and in Liberchies (Belgium). The album "Entre Félix et Django" received the Opus Award for Jazz Album of the Year in 2017 and was nominated in the Show of the Year category in 2018.

Cécilia's recent debut album Accent is an impressive offering full of vibrant rhythms and melodies, all resonating with a unique warmth and richness of expression.

You'll find yourself with a smile that lasts long after the final notes of Cécilia's accordion, piano, and violin have melted away.
