About this concert
Aurores Montréal, unique festival parisien dédié aux artistes canadiens, programme depuis 2013 de nombreux artistes ayant depuis éclos sur le territoire européen : Ariane Moffatt, Misteur Valaire, Klô Pelgag, Élisapie, Louis-Jean Cormier, etc. Le Festival revient du 28 novembre au 5 décembre 2019 pour sa septième édition !
Dominique Fils-Aimé est une auteure et interprète de Montréal qui puise son inspiration dans les icônes de la musique soul des années 40 à 60 telles que Billie Holiday, Etta James et Nina Simone. Sur scène, elle sait séduire le public grâce à son authenticité et à sa voix suave. En 2019, elle est à la fois la Révélation Jazz Radio-Canada et se retrouve aussi sur la courte liste du prix Polaris.
Après avoir fait une entrée remarquée sur la scène musicale en 2018 avec Nameless, Dominique Fils-Aimé dévoile Stay Tuned!, deuxième album de sa trilogie, le 22 février sur l’étiquette Ensoul Records. Du bleu de Nameless teinté de silences historiques et de blues, au rouge brûlant du jazz, l’album Stay Tuned! est un appel, ainsi qu’un rappel à la révolution.

Dominique Fils-Aimé is a singer-songwriter from Montreal whose inspiration is drawn from soul icons of the 40’s and the 60’s the likes of Billie Holiday, Etta James and Nina Simone. On stage, she grips the audience with her sultry and genuine voice. In 2019, she is the Radio-Canada Jazz Revelation as well as on the short list of the Polaris Prize.
Moving on from her 2018 debut full length blues-tinged Nameless—which boldly confronted historical silences and sorrows — Stay Tuned! is both a call for and reminder of revolution expressed with the fury of red-hot jazz. Wanting to break away from the standards of traditional compositions, Dominique presents a body of work focused on liberating herself from musical forms.

J'ai vu le spectacle de Dominique Fils-Aimé à Rimouski (Québec, Canada) jeudi 4 avril 2024.
Ce fut nettement L'UN DES MEILLEURS SPECTACLES QUE J'AI VUS! Et j'en ai vu plusieurs!!!
Le son était superbe, la musique excellente et la présence de Dominique était envoutante. L'atmosphère qu'elle a su installer -un heureux mélange d'intériorisation, d'évasion et de rythmique hypnotisante- ont fait de ce spectacle quelque chose d'unique. On est ici bien ailleurs du courant commercial et c'est tant mieux!
Je retiens ceci de ce spectacle:
1. La musique enivrante dans son intériorité;
2. Les présentations de celle-ci;
3. Ses messages savamment exprimés entre les pièces;
4. La teneur pacifique des messages et l'invitation à l'amour font habilement contrepoids à l'actualité;
5. Le long medley de plus de 30 minutes qui appelle à savourer la musique;
6. La maîtrise des sonorités, des rythmes, la variété et la maîtrise des instruments.
Vraiment, Dominique serait une américaine ayant une médiatisation étendue qu'elle aurait tôt fait d'être une riche héritière d'une Sade, d'une Norah Jones, voire d'une Marvin Gaye sous hypnose! En Europe, en France, elle devrait avoir une belle carrière puisque l'ouverture à ce style est plus répandue.
De plus, Dominique Fils-Aimé est entendue fréquemment dans les expositions de systèmes de haute-fidélité, car le son de ses enregistrements est fabuleux. Ça ajoute au plaisir musical assurément.
Bref, Dominique est une artiste que je suivrai et tenterai de faire découvrir avec plaisir. La certitude de son attrait musical est évidente pour moi. Dominique est un beau baume pour l'âme! Longue vie musicale à elle!

Dominique Fils-Aimé Biography
The two-time JUNO Award winning singer-songwriter from Montreal, Dominique Fils-Aimé, is an artist that puts the history of African-American musical culture into the heart of her work, reflecting on the social realities that influenced the genres of blues, jazz and soul.
Her debut full-length album Nameless, launched in 2018, was about confronting historical silences and sorrows. This blues-tinged album has become an audiophile’s reference recording across the globe and led to two sold out shows at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 2018.
In 2019, her second album, Stay Tuned! was a call for revolution. This album won the 2020 JUNO Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year as well as the Félix prize for Best Jazz Album at the 2019 ADISQ Gala, was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize and featured among the 19 best Canadian albums of 2019 by CBC. Dominique Fils-Aimé was also nominated that same year as Radio-Canada’s 2019-2020 “Revelation in Jazz”.
Following this album, she toured all over Quebec and Canada’s Jazz festival circuit in the summer of 2019. She was nominated for the Félix Prize for “Anglophone Show of the Year” at the 2020 ADISQ Gala and did her first shows in France and at the Winter Jazz Festival in New York City.
In 2021, she closed the final chapter of her album trilogy with Three Little Words, a call for reconciliation. The record received rave reviews in prestigious publications all around the country and in the world. It made the Polaris Short List, claimed the #1 spot for best-selling album in Quebec and hit #2 in Canada, with over three hundred media mentions worldwide. In 2022 she presented her show in front of a sold out Théâtre Maisonneuve during the Montreal International Jazz Festival and across Europe during the summer. She was invited to perform a double bill with Diana Krall at Jazz in Marciac and with Melody Gardot at Jazz en Ville in France.
Harmonizing is one of Dominique Fils-Aimé’s primary sources of inspiration. She loves to get lost in the process of creating because it brings her into a timeless state. In this state, she experiences a contentment that gives a magical quality to her work—undefinable, yet truly authentic.
Her fourth album entitled Our Roots Run Deep was released on Ensoul Records in September 2023 and is the start of a new trilogy. It has won the 2024 JUNO Award for “Vocal Jazz Album of the Year”, and the music video for the track ‘My Mind At Ease’ was nominated for Best International R&B/Soul Video and Best Choreography in a Video at the UK Music Video Awards.
Dominique Fils-Aimé will release her first single in French on May 23rd.
