And there will be music, oh yeah!! Courtesy of local talent including:
Fado Blues: Featuring Catarina Cardeal and Mike Siracusa pushing the definition of Portuguese Fado to new areas that touch the universal exploration of blues – passionate Portuguese songs with a contemporary twist. Within their first year of formation, Fado Blues was performing to sell out audiences in Toronto and throughout Canada. A favorite of the CBC with several sold out concerts including “live at Glenn Gould” with Jane Bunnett and the Spirits of Havana. Their original rendition to Silent Night (Noite Feliz) can be heard on CBC Sounds of the Season Christmas CD. Fado Blues’ first CD was released with the support of the CBC.
