Canefire

“CaneFire is sweeter than Caroni brown sugar and don’t doubt me” – Trinidad Guardian

Where sugar cane grows, a canefire is known for its dynamism and intensity, sweeping all before it to prepare the fields for future growth. So it is with Toronto’s CaneFire — dynamic, intense and fertile — creating a new music fashioned out of a myriad of Caribbean traditions, jazz, and the original vision of bandleader, founder, pianist and composer, Jeremy Ledbetter.

CaneFire’s signature sound revolves around its unconventional use of the steelpan — Trinidad’s contribution to the world’s array of instruments, and the only petroleum byproduct that is actually good for you. Under the hands of virtuoso Mark Mosca, the pan plays a leading role in CaneFire, taking its place alongside the horns at the front of a latin jazz combo.
