| Canadian String Super-Group Sultans Of String Tour & New CD  Canadian string super-group and 2010 JUNO Award Nominees (Canada's Grammy's) Sultans of String have released their stunning new CD, MOVE. This third album weaves a truly global sonic tapestry, influenced by Spanish Flamenco, Arabic folk, Cuban rhythms, jazz, Bossa, and French Manouche Gypsy-jazz music.
