For so many, coming to Canada to make the country your home is as cherished as the love of family. To live, be, celebrate, absorb the many cultures, and to then be able to share in the fabric of those uniquely woven cultures, is the country’s charm. Robi Botos loves this country and with every creative tick of his soul and heart his music and music-making artistry celebrates the land he calls home in one way or another.
He speaks passionately about his Roma culture and how he is immersed in his adopted Canadian homeland. Listen to Robi’s music, it is as full of hope, love, and wonder, as is the breadth of the geography of the country; as brazen as its audacious, fearlessly proud stand, defined as it is bounded by three amazing oceans and steadied by its own grand shield, ranges, and banks, in its east, and its ‘Misty Giants’, The Rocky Mountains, in its west so beautifully portrayed in Oscar Peterson’s Canadiana Suite.
Robi Botos is as preciously audaciously alive.
