Ginger Beef 

Ginger Beef is the hot new instrumental pop collaboration of the husband-and-wife team of virtuosic flutist Jiajia Li and veteran producer/multi-instrumentalist Warren Tse (AKA MSG). The result: a gleaming pop artifact that balances dazzling instrumental performances and catchy melodies with deep grooves. Ginger Beef brings high-energy instrumental acrobatics to life with Li on a range of flutes — both Chinese and western — and MSG on synth, keys and guitar. Backing up the duo are a lineup of top R&B and jazz players from Calgary’s robust Gospel music scene. Ginger Beef self-released their debut album in October 2023 to astonishing reception. It quickly hit #1 on CJSW, CFRU and CJRU campus charts, and was nominated for a JUNO award. The band has been nominated for three YYC Music Awards and has blown away crowds at music festivals and large venues.
