Etana Live @ Moskito + Bite, Toronto, ON - Thurs Jun 6th!

JUNE 6

ETANA - BETTER TOMORROW TOUR

Meet & Greet
PREVIEW SHOW

Etana, means ‘the strong one’ in Swahili;
her strength is manifested, this time around,
by pursuing a musical career strictly on her own terms.
Etana’s elegantly modest Rasta-chic sartorial style is as
distinctive as her sound: an audacious fusion of folk, soul, jazz
and reggae supporting a powerful vocal range suggestive of
the ancestral spirit of South Africa’s Miriam Makeba,
the regality of reggae queen Marcia Griffiths and the
soulful verve of Etta James.

She first received international acclaim with her hits
'Wrong Address' which was followed up
by “I am not affraid” & two more number one hits.
Her powerful voice and wide-ranging appeal
guarantee this young artist a spot in the spotlight
for some time to come

Alongside
Juno nominated singer Ammoye
Selectas GenesisOne & SunRay
Imana

Location:  moskito + bite, 423 College St, Toronto, CA
