Apologies for the gap in newsletters... another non-musical
project has consumed too much time over the last month or so. But
for now, here is a very quick listing of some upcoming shows of
interest. See
www.to-music.ca/events.htm for more details on these and other
events. Also, see below for a note about CIUT's fundraising
drive starting Nov. 3
Hallowe'en: Afrobeat, Congolese & funk treats tonight:
- Like last year,
Mr .Something
Something puts on a Hallowe'en show at the Lula.
- JP Mpiana & Wenge Musica BCBG: a show that fans of
Congolese soukous will not miss. There'll be energy galore
tonight. Here's a
review
(with photos) of a show (last year?) in Montreal. Also, a
music video. In the hall, Macedonian Bulgarian Orthodox
Cathedral. 237 Sackville (Dundas/Parliament). $30 at the door.
Doors open 10. The official start time is 10:30, but those who
know Congolese shows will likely show up later...
- Buffy Sainte-Marie and Richie Havens at Massey Hall
Nov. 1:
- "Changuito" Quintana with guests at the Lula Lounge
"One of the living legends of modern Cuban music, the man
considered most responsible for the polyrhythmic foundation of
Cuban salsa and timba." He'll be performing with many of
Toronto's top Cuban musicians including Hilario Duran, Joaquin
Hidalgo, David Virelles and Alberto Alberto with the Toronto
Cuban All-Stars plus DJ Billy Bryans. See the Lula's page for
details including
more info about Changuito, plus video clips including a brief
documentary on him.
- "Joy in Every Land: with
Sani-Abu and
Ijo Vudu Dance Company
celebrate the troupe's third anniversary. Dinner and traditional
and contemporary African dance and drumming at the Pia
Bouman Studio Theatre, 6 Noble St. (NW of Queen/Dufferin)
Also of note in November:
- Nov. 10: Tom Russell and the Flatlanders (Jimmie Dale
Gilmore, Joe Ely, Butch Hancock) at Hugh's Room. Check the
event page for some more info.
- Nov. 11: Jayme Stone & Mansa Sissoko return to town
after their Africa to Appalachia tour to Hugh's Room
where they had their CD release in June.
- Nov. 13-15: Nujazz Festival at various locations.

http://to-music.ca/events.htm and more to come.
Nov. 3-9: Fundraising drive at
CIUT
The semi-annual campaign to raise much-needed music for a
much-needed community radio station. Anyone listening to the
kind of music listed here knows that stations like CIUT and CKLN
(and the CBC) are almost the only game in town on the radio
dial. That music wouldn't be there unless listeners support
them. There's not much advertising money keeping them going...
they need us. So tune in, check the website above, or call in
during your favourite show that week and give them a few bucks.
(A good world music day is Sunday, Nov. 9: Global Rhythms 3-6,
and Karibuni, 6-8).
Did you know that most shows are now available by podcast for
a week following? Check the program schedule on the website and
click on the show. (You might have trouble if you're using
Firefox).
