About The Poster:  Conventum- one of the bands involved in this event - is one of those typical Quebecois projects to have come in the second half of the 70’s. Their first album, A L’ Affût D’ Un Complot (on the look out of a plot), this music was also highly theatrical, acoustic and satirical, and in many regards if not really avant-garde, sufficiently groundbreaking, but also full of traditional folk music around that time was recorded a concert in their home base. The following year, Conventum released their second (and last) album on the same crazy and satirical musical grounds, Le Bureau Central des Utopies Conventum is best appreciated with a good mastering of the French language (their French singing is actually quite neutral and easily understood), but can be easily enjoyed by most adventurous progheads, as the music is often breathtaking. Both albums are much recommended to anybody progheads into chamber “rock” music, the way only Quebecois, the Finns and Belgians can do it. This poster was in the private collection of a noted jazz musician and producer. Poster measures 28 x 42 inches
