A recipient of numerous awards, Oktopus is a prominent figure on the Canadian world music scene, with over 250 performances both nationally and internationally. The group is primarily dedicated to klezmer music and stands out with a fresh approach that incorporates elements of classical and Québécois repertoire, along with some jazz and Balkan accents. The eight virtuosic musicians deliver a show that is as festive and lively as it is melancholic and profound, sprinkled with humor and stories. Their original compositions and finely crafted arrangements are complemented by improvisation. The group's camaraderie, passion, and craftsmanship make each of their performances memorable—whether on stage, in the street, on a boat, in a hot air balloon, or in your living room. It’s… how should I put it… spectacular!
