Slakah the Beatchild, Ebrahim & Tingsek--A New Sound Emerges

It's not to often that I actually venture out to listen to artists that I'm not too familiar with, but, let me tell you, I was thoroughly surprised and thrilled after leaving the Lula Lounge a few weeks back.

I went specifically to listen to this super-phenenomenal Producer, Singer, known as Slakah the Beatchild who hails from Sarnia, Ontario. You may have heard his name before attached to some of the best-produced songs coming out of Canada such as "Crate Love" featuring Divine Brown and Ray Robinson or even his own feel good song titled "Enjoy Ya Self" which has a version which features Hip Hop Phenom, Drake. However, I was floored when the show opened up with a guy who goes by the name of Ebrahim, that I had never heard before I saw his name on the event's promotional flyer. As he began making some beats using a sampler and some other equipment that I'm not too familiar with, his soulful voice filled the room.

Ebrahim, who was nominated for a Juno in 2008 for his album, Goldrush, is definitely a refreshing voice in the music world. He sings, raps, makes beats using a sampler and keyboard and he beatboxes. To say he's multi-talented is an understatement.

After putting his own spin on a few classic tunes, Ebrahim was joined by Slakah the Beatchild (Byram Joseph) and an artist from Sweden named, Tingsek. It turns out that, the Beatchild and Tingsek (Magnum Tingsek) met on online, Tingsek invited Slakah to Sweden where he wrote several songs for Tingsek's album.

If your were to close your eyes for a minute and listen to Tingsek's soulful voice, you may think that you were hearing Prince's voice or maybe even a hit of Bob Marley. Each artist has their own distinct musical style, but the blend of the three exposes listeners to a unique sound that is lacking in today's music world.

The trio currently have a catchy track called, "War Within" currently getting air play and I'm sure many people, like me, are looking forward to more great music from each of them individually, and together.

Author/Networking Guru George Fraser Live @ North York Memorial Hall, North York, ON - Fri Jun 25th!

African-American author and power networker George Fraser comes to Toronto to deliver a powerful message on success, wealth creation, developing strong business practices and creating/utilizing networks for professional gain and communal empowerment.

Mr. Fraser is the author of three books: Success Runs In Our Race; The Complete Guide to Effective Networking in the African American Community (a critically acclaimed bestseller), Race For Success; The Ten Best Business Opportunities for Blacks In America (selected as one of ten best business books of the year by Booklist), and CLICK; Ten Truths for Building Extraordinary Relationships. He is also the publisher of the award-winning SuccessGuide Worldwide: The Networking Guide to Black Resources and the founder of the annual PowerNetworking Conference.

A popular speaker and author, George C. Fraser’s inspiring talks on success principles, effective networking, wealth creation, business ethics, and valuing diversity, are as popular among corporate professionals as they are among college students. His views have been solicited by CNN and the Wall Street Journal.

UPSCALE magazine named him one of the “Top 50 power brokers in Black America”. Black Enterprise Magazine called him “Black America’s #1 Networker” on a cover issue.

Melanie Fiona & Jully Black Illuminate Toronto at Luminato Festival

Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square was the place to be to witness two of the city's precious R&B gems, Jully Black and Melanie Fiona, grace the stage for an incredible high-energy opening of the Luminato Festival of Arts and Creativity.

Black, 32, and Fiona, 26, performed in their hometown in front of a crowd of hundreds of fans who packed the city's busiest intersection for the free concert.

Black, won a Juno Award in 2008 for her third album Revival which was certified Gold in Canada selling over 50,000 copies. She performed several tracks from that album including "Queen" and "Seven Day Fool" which peaked at #9 on the Canadian Hot 100 Chart. Her fourth album, The Black Book, was released last year and has spawned the singles "Need You" and "Running."

Melanie Fiona's debut album, The Bridge, was released last summer and earned her a 2010 Best Female R&B Vocal Performance Grammy Award Nomination for the huge single "It Kills Me." The ballad spent nine weeks in the #1 position on Billboard's Hot R&B charts in the US.

The Luminato Festival, now in its fourth year, ran from June 11th to the 20th and featured numerous activities including dance, film, literature, visual arts, theatre and music on stages, streets and public spaces with many of the events being offered free of charge.

AWAKENING: THE STORY OF A DANCER @ The Toronto Centre for the Arts, Toronto, ON - Thurs Jun 17 & Fri Jun 18th!

Awakening: An Urban Musical Story of a Dancer

A little girl dreams to be a successful dancer and learns that the hardest journey is not upward, but inward. Artistic maturity comes at a price few are really willing to pay. As the price takes a toll on the soul the dance becomes the foundation for resistance, solace and transformation.

Awakening is reflective of human angst, dedication and ultimate triumph. Born out of a true story, Awakening is a story of perseverance and the power to aspire; channeling ones dreams. Live musical and spoken word accompaniment intricately reveals a world of diverse dance styles from gospel to reggae; where a 1st generation Canadian dancer finds connection to an old world leading to the discovery of personal strength.

The show explores fears and the innate power of music and dance to fortify the human spirit in universal themes beyond class and race.

Awakening hosts Educational Matinee performances geared at school audiences. Show times:

Thursday June 17 11:30am - Matinee & 8:00pm - Regular performances
Friday June 18 11:30am - Matinee & 8:00pm - Regular performances
