Canadian Artists Shine at UMAC's Urban X-Posure, Harbourfront, Toronto, ON - 02/13/09
Champion Beatboxer, Scott Jackson, made a special guest appearance during the UMAC, Urban Music Association of Canada's Urban X-Posure "SoWhatChaSayin'?" youth rountable and artist showcase at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto last Saturday afternoon.
Focusing on social change through music and spoken word was the message behind the event and youth members of key organizations such as Life Movement and the creators of the Manifesto festival were in attendance along with budding artists and industry members.
The event, which was part of Harbourfront Centre's Kuumba Festival celebrating Black History Month, featured performances from local Toronto Artists, T-West and J. Moy and Ottawa's own, The Recipe, who were finalists from hundreds of submissions across Canada.
All of the finalists went home with cash and prizes from sponsors including the
The Michael Pinball Clemons Foundation, Flud Watches, Ian Peters Agency, RocaWear Canada/IDR Agency and Spice-It-Up World.
UMAC is the voice of Canada's urban music industry. It is a member-driven, non-profit organization dedicated to building the domestic and international profile of Canadian urban music.
Look out for performances from these artists coming soon on the UMAC site at http://www.umacunited.com.
Pix & Video from George Clinton's Valentine's Day Performance in Toronto
The Undisputable King of P-Funk, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, made an appearance in downtown Toronto on Valentine's Day, February 14th at the Phoenix Concert Theatre.
Known for his multi-coloured hairstyles and catchy song titles, Clinton appeared to be a little slow in movement on stage. He performed a few of his popular songs including, "Atomic Dog," "(Not Just) Knee Deep" and "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)" while his band appeared to carry the show for the most part.
Clinton was likely still grieving the sudden and recent loss of his son and mother. George Clinton Jr, who was 50 years old, died of natural causes in his Tallahassee, Florida home on February 1st. Julious G. Keaton, Clinton Sr.'s mother, passed away in December.
The 68-year old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is expected to release a new album this May with fellow soul/funk Artist, Sly Stone.

Soundtrack for a Revolution @ Bloor Cinema, Toronto, ON - Fri Feb 19th - Tues Feb 23rd!
Fusicology and Filmswelike present...
SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION
SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION tells the story of the American civil rights movement through its powerful music - the freedom songs protesters sang on picket lines, in mass meetings, in paddy wagons, and in jail cells as they fought for justice and equality.
The film features new performances of the freedom songs by top artists, including John Legend, Joss Stone, Wyclef Jean, and The Roots; riveting archival footage; and interviews with civil rights foot soldiers and leaders, including Congressman John Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Julian Bond, and Ambassador Andrew Young.
The freedom songs evolved from slave chants, from the labor movement, and especially from the black church. The music enabled blacks to sing words they could not say, and it was crucial in helping the protesters as they faced down brutal aggression with dignity and non-violence. The infectious energy of the songs swept people up and empowered them to fight for their rights.
SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION celebrates the vitality of this music. Directed by Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman (NANKING), and executive produced by Danny Glover, SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION is a vibrant blend of heart-wrenching interviews, dramatic images, and thrilling contemporary performances - a film of significance, energy, and power.

Jon B. @ Home Nightclub, Toronto - Fri Feb 19th!
IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM IAN ANDRE ESPINET: 02/18/10
Due to a compromise in the printed tickets for Soul Kitchen featuring JON. B, I am pleased (and not pleased) to announce that admission to Soul Kitchen will be...
*****************************************************************
$20 AT THE DOOR. I REPEAT - $20 ALL NIGHT LONG.
*****************************************************************
This is simply my response to the possibility of someone unscrupulously making money off YOU or off ME by selling stolen tickets. Hence, by leaving the door price the same, there is ABSOLUTELY no reason for you to buy from someone outside.
YOU WILL NOW SEE A LIVE PERFORMANCE WITH AN R&B ICON FOR $20... Although this is an unrealistic price (and I don't want you to think it's necessarily possible in the future for like caliber talent), I refuse to let someone take advantage of us.
I am without compromise. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ALONG.
***ADVANCED TICKET HOLDERS***
YOU ARE NOW VIPS AND WILL BE GIVEN FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO TO TAKE PHOTOS & HAVE AUTOGRAPHS SIGNED. (*He's super friendly, so this probably won't be an exclusive perk, but you will have the first opportunity, so there's no chance of being missed).
*** IN ADDITION YOU WILL ALSO BE ADMITTED WITH A LINE BY-PASS
Tickets are STILL available at AUTHORIZED OUTLETS - we have ticket numbers of the missing tickets.
TO ENSURE YOUR ENTRY, ONLY PURCHASE TICKETS FROM AUTHORIZED TICKET OUTLETS. AVOID THE EMBARRASSMENT - DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS OR OTHER QUESTIONABLE SOURCES - WE WILL REFUSE ADMISSION.

Haiti: March for Hope from City Hall to Queen's Park, Toronto, ON - Mon Feb 1st!
An earthquake in Haiti on January 12 left unknown numbers dead and wounded, leveled buildings, destroyed infrastructure and devastated a country. Two weeks after the quake, the numbers have mounted. The numbers tell stories of death and destruction, as well as a global outpouring of aid. The Canadian death toll in Haiti has reached 21and another 147 people are still unaccounted for. Currently there are 1,400 members of the Canadian Forces in Haiti helping with the recovery.
On Monday, February 1st, 2010 from 3:00PM to 6:00PM EST,
a March for Hope will start at City Hall, 100 Queen St. W.
will end at Queens Park (University Avenue at College Street).
At 4:53PM, a moment of silence will be held in remembrance of over 200,000 victims
who lost their lives in the devastating quake.
The March for Hope will end with a vigil in front of Queens Park.
Key note speakers include
Haitian Honorary Consul. Dr. Eric Pierre
President of the Ontario Black History Society Dr. Rosemary Sadlier.
The intention of the march is to raise awareness on three important legislative points with the hope that the Federal Government will comply and swiftly expedite help to the current plight in Haiti.
This event is inspired by the precedent set forth in section s 37 of the Immigration Act 1976.
ANTICIPATED GOAL OF THE MARCH
1) Broaden the ordinary definition of family under this class to include:
spouse, child (irrespective of age or marital status), parent, grandparent, grandchild (irrespective of age or marital status), sibling (irrespective of age or marital status) niece/nephew, (irrespective of age or marital status), aunt/uncle (irrespective of age or marital status). The definition also includes step and in-law relationships.
2) To permit Haitian refugees currently living in Canada
with no actual status the right to bring a family member while their status is being revised.
3) Start an airlift evacuation of all critically injured Haitians in need of critical care.
