A bit about Christina:
Christina Smith researches, collects, publishes, teaches and performs traditional fiddle music. She learned the music directly from older generations of Newfoundland and Labrador musicians such as Rufus Guinchard, Emile Benoit, Belle Fennelly and Frank Maher, and the melodies they gave to her came wrapped up in stories. As a duo with Jean Hewson since 1985, a member of Mahers Bahers, and lately, of the pan-Canadian fiddle band Portage, she introduces audiences in North America and the British Isles to the music of Newfoundland and Labrador.
