As the accordionist, the violinist and clarinettist jammed together to The Godfather theme in the halls of the conservatory, they knew what they had to do: Start a klezmer band. But what happened was a completely different story.

Sagapool went from Balkan and Gypsy-inflected impromptu shows on the streets of Old Montreal to crafting original instrumentals as a six-piece band-one so in synch that the guitarist jumps up to join the bassist for a thumping four-handed riff.

This mix of good-natured shenanigans and Northern thoughtfulness won Sagapool a Felix at ADISQ (best instrumental album 2012), 2 Canadian Folk Music Awards (Innovation and Best Instrumental Album, 20012 and 2008) and gained them showcases at WOMEX (2010). And the road stretches on
