June 23rd: W.I.T.C.H.
Opening Acts: Astrology Now, Garment District
W.I.T.C.H is a Zamrock band formed in the 1970s and is widely seen as the most popular Zambian band of all time. W.I.T.C.H (an acronym for "We Intend To Cause Havoc") was formed during Zambia's golden post-independence days, and headed by lead vocalist Emanuel "Jagari" Chanda. With the economy collapsing in the late-1970s, and increasing government authoritarianism, W.I.T.C.H., like most Zamrock bands, were reduced to playing daytime shows to avoid the curfews, and almost faded away. They are bringing their unique blend of heavy psychedelic rock and African rhythms for one show you don't want to miss and probably won't have a chance to see again!
July 28th: Los Gaiteros De San Jacinto (Colombia)
Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto are a Colombian traditional folkloric cumbia group formed in the Caribbean Region of Colombia which have been active since 1940. Their folkloric music preserves the traditional rhythms and sounds product of a mixture of the Colombian Indigenous, Spanish and Afro-Colombian heritage.
August 25th: Moneka Arabic Jazz
Led by charismatic bandleader Ahmed Moneka, Moneka Arabic Jazz is a project reflecting his life and journey in art from Baghdad to Toronto. It showcases melodies from his homeland Iraq, mixed with African grooves and rhythms he inherited from his Afro-Arabic heritage. A true reflection of Toronto’s multiculturalism, the band fuses styles and influences from the Mediterranean, to North Africa, the Middle East and North America. The band features members from across the world.
