Mosaic Music is the theme of the eighth edition of the Mundial Montreal music festival, a reflection of a cultural landscape that retains heritage and recognizes colonized land. Among the 32 bands in this year’s program are Canadian and international acts with roots spanning the globe, as well as an Indigenous Sound series showcasing Canadian artists and acts from Australia and Norway. Tonight the festival opens at Cabaret Lion d’Or with an eclectic night of female-fronted bands from Canada, Spain, France and Korea. Mundial runs through Sunday, at various venues. 1676 Ontario E., 9 p.m., $25.55
