Canada’s leading Aboriginal playwright, Tomson Highway, returns with a musical tour d’ force! Based on his latest theatrical masterpiece, The (Post) Mistress, this CD releases 11 unique musical pieces weaving stories with a soundtrack like no other. The CD is produced by Tomson Highway and Luisito Orbegoso, recorded and mixed at the Canterbury Music Company with Jeremy Darby and mastered at George Seara Sound. This cabaret-style evening is set in the not-so-distant past, when sending letters through the mail was still vital to communication. The (Post) Mistress knows her clients so well and through songs she shares stories of love within pieces ranging from Berlin cabaret to French café chanson to Dixieland jazz to smooth bossa nova styles in a multilingual French, Cree and English libretto. This musical celebration features the finest of Toronto’s musicians with the powerful vocal performance of Patricia Cano. This is a one of a kind evening you won’t forget.
