Live at the Kisanii Hub Featuring Kuné

​Jamii presents KUNÉ ("together" in Esperanto), an eleven-piece collective made up of immigrant musicians from all over the world and one Metis-Canadian. Kuné’s artistic practice captures and recreates the experience of living in Toronto, one of the world's most diverse cities.
​
Along with the performances by Kuné, some Esplanadian percussionists from our community members will join them! These community members were participants in a series of percussion workshops organized by Jamii for 3 weeks!

Don’t miss out this cozy and magical autumn gathering in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood!

WHEN: Thursday, October 27th and Friday, October 28th at 6pm and at 7pm
