Events Description
Bassist, composer, and singer Mali Obomsawin (Odanak First Nation) presents her highly anticipated new album, Automatic. Refusing to fit into a single genre, Obomsawin performs with an outstanding group of musicians and vocalists to create an electrifying live experience that brings together resistance and beauty.
Next on this double-bill evening is Ahmed Moneka, with a vibrant, one-night-only musical journey that crosses borders, cultures, and genres. Ahmed features an extraordinary lineup of guest performers: Brazil’s electrifying Aline Morales, Iranian artist Saba Zamani, Tara Moneka, and rising Iraqi-Canadian voice Ebril. Each artist brings their own distinct colour and spirit, joining Ahmed and his all-star world music ensemble in a series of unique collaborations throughout the evening. Together, they weave a rich sonic tapestry—blending Arabic fusion with jazz, indie, and traditional influences, while drawing from Brazilian rhythms and East African Lewa sounds. The result is a powerful, genre-defying performance that celebrates connection, storytelling, and the transformative energy of live music.
