Each week Nat Geo Music scours the far corners of the internet to bring you the coolest new videos from around the globe.

This week we return to The Great White North - or should we say, the funky, multicultural colossus that is Canada today - with Ottawa's incomparable Souljazz Orchestra, who just kicked off their first world tour in support of their latest album, Solidarity (Strut).

The album was meticulously recorded on vintage analog gear, so it's fitting that the album's first official video would be produced using vintage analog video cameras as well.

Directed by Craig Allen Conoley and shot at the Mercury Lounge in the band's hometown of Ottawa, Ontario, the "Conquering Lion" video captures Souljazz Orchestra's blistering live performance with style.

We've reprinted their North American tour dates after the video - for complete world tour dates, consult the band's website.

And, most of all, don't sleep on Souljazz!
