Join us for an unforgettable evening where art, culture, and recognition meet. The Black History Month Closing Gala & Kora Night celebrates the achievements, resilience, and contributions of Black leaders, artists, and community members across Canada, closing the month with beauty, rhythm, and reflection.
Presented by Productions Pulcherie Mboussi & AACCCS–ISSAMBA Centre, this prestigious gala blends elegance, tradition, and soulful African music to honour the legacy of Black excellence and unity.
🎵 A Meeting of Kora Masters
Experience an extraordinary musical journey with two internationally acclaimed artists: Senny Camara (Senegal / France) and Zal Sissokho (Senegal / Canada).
Together, these virtuoso performers breathe new life into the kora, the 21-string harp-lute of West Africa, blending ancient griot traditions with contemporary artistry. Their performance is more than music, it is a living dialogue between past and present, an homage to heritage, and a celebration of African storytelling through sound.

.🎧 Guest DJ Till Late — End the night on a high note! Dance the night away to Afrobeat, world, and Caribbean rhythms as we celebrate unity and joy on the dance floor.
