the liquidaires

The Liquidaires were formed in the wake of the Wilson Brothers involvement in Toronto’s ska scene in the early nineties. Chris' explorations into the music of Trinidad (he has played in Caribana parades, soca bands, as is member of the Silhouettes Steel Orchestra), and Jeff’s participation local ensembles such as the Arabic-inspired Masa Meze and the Yiddish-derived Shakshuka further broaden their sphere of influence. They now weave tapestries that owe inspiration to Cumbia, Salsa, Bhangra, Dancehall, and American Funk and Rhythm and Blues, "liquefying" these diverse sounds to produce works all their own.
