Lua Sol is a stage-blazing, curly-haired soul septet from London, Ontario. Formed in the celestial oven of Fanshawe College’s MIA program, the ensemble represents a coalition of diverse musical backgrounds which all make you wanna DANCE. Reggae, RnB, Soul, Funk, Bossa, Jazz, Blues, and all those classic New World sounds shine out from whatever club stage the band happens to be occupying tonight. Improvisation takes a core role in Lua Sol’s music, blending the spaces between their strong ensemble parts and tight songwriting with the broad brushstrokes of spontaneous musicianship. While the band primarily features the radiant vocal talents of frontwomen Konejo Girum and Raquel Sanchez, every member eventually takes up centre stage to shine with a blistering solo or an indispensable, song-defining hook. Audiences report sensations of overwhelming euphoria, spiritual ascendence through dance, and sunburns on uncovered stage-facing skin. Lua Sol is a bright light in the dark.
