In the year 2023, the band visited many super festivals and events, so we saw countless new faces in the audience, for which we are very grateful! This concert is the joint closing of the year of Lóci plays with a huge boat-rocking, dancing party. We promise that we will try to bring new things!
GranCanada: Jazz-hop beats + neo-soul vocals = Alternative R&B
GranCanada is an alternative R&B band formed in late 2018. The five-piece line-up features a trumpet in addition to the basic drum, bass and guitar trio, and the instrument part is topped off with vocals that combine the softness of soul with the hardness of hip-hop. They strive to create a hybrid sound, with keyboard and electric drum sounds that set their concerts apart from the acoustic orchestral sound, making the audience dance like they are participating on an electronic music event.
They have performed in the main hall of A38 Ship, several times at Pontoon and Dürer Kert, and have opened for Ethnofil and Follow the Flow at the Akvárium. In 2020 they toured the country with Lóci Játszik, and that year they released their first album, Fénytörés. They have also played at several festivals and opened for Azahriah and Freakin' Disco.
In November 2021 they celebrated their 3rd birthday at Instant with a special birthday concert for 10 people.
This year, the band will release more songs, an EP during the year and their second album, supported by the Hungarian Hangfoglaló Program in early 2023, which will be characterised by the hybrid sound mentioned above.
They closed the spring of 2022 on the big stages of Budapest Park and Belfest.
The concert was supported by the Uptuned! serie of MOL-New Europe Foundation.
