Canadian Tenors - Luminato 2009, Day 1, Toronto

Day 1 of the Luminato Guitar Festival at Dundas Square, Toronto, I was 8 minutes late and was surprised to hear tenor voices coming out of the giant speakers. For a second, I thought I was at the wrong venue since I was expecting more 6 strings actions. My doubts of the current performers were quickly put to rest when they announced their next song which come from the theatrical show Notre Dame de Paris.

Belle is the perfect song to kick off Luminato for me since I have been listening to it non-stop for the last 7 days. It is very hard to match Garu's raspy voice but the tenor cover version adds a special flavour to the song. Assimilating Belle live today has been quite enthralling.

The quartet continued to perform a few other songs and ended their segment of the night with two songs from Queen, Who Wants to Live Forever and We are the Champions.
