The Georgia Straight presents Chilly Gonzales at the Rio Theatre

Live Nation announced today that Berlin-based orchestral-rap artist Chilly Gonzales will perform at the Rio Theatre on Wednesday, April 11.

Gonzales, who left Canada for Berlin in 1998, remixed the music of artists like Daft Punk and Bjork before collaborating with Feist on her Let It Die and The Reminder albums. In 2009, he broke the Guinness World Record for longest solo concert with 27 hours of piano music.
