Join us for an evening of modal music presented by Nimble Ensemble (https://www.labyrinthontario.com/)
Toronto-based music organisation Labyrinth Ontario presents Araz Salek, Canan Sezgin Geylan and Yahya Geylan at The Kafana! With Araz on the tar, he joins husband-wife duo Canan (vocals and violin) and Yahya (vocals, oud) for an evening of energetic modal music. They bring Turkish and Iranian musical background to Belleville, with influences from the broader contemporary modal music community.

Contemporary modal music takes deeply related sonic traditions from Central, West, and South Asia, and the Mediterranean and forms cross-cultural collaborations. Labyrinth Ontario’s goal is to bring awareness of other musical traditions, and expand musical idioms beyond those confined to a political border. Come learn more about this ever-evolving genre on February 13th at The Kafana!

Echoes of Sakartvelo: Ukrainian Music at The Kafana

Ori Shalva is a Georgian family ensemble based in Toronto that sings the haunting visceral harmonies of Georgian polyphony, a UNESCO proclaimed intangible heritage of humanity.

Ori Shalva doesn’t just perform Georgian polyphony. When they sing the visceral harmonies of the millenia old musical tradition, they transcend space and time, and take you on a far-off musical journey of Sakartvelo (aka Georgia), a small and ancient mountainous country located on the borders of Asia and Europe.
