NYC's Bhangra Queen DJ Rekha is coming to Canada

I'm super excited and proud to say that we are bringing DJ Rekha to Canada in a few weeks to perform in both Montreal and Toronto. Rekha has been promoting Bhangra in NYC for more than 10 years now with her monthly night Basement Bhangra. She's one of the most important figures of the scene in North America as well as an example for many woman with South-Asian roots, or more generally for immigrant women. Last October, she released an album called Basement Bhangra, a milestone in her career celebrating the 10h anniversary of the night. Most of the biggest names in Bhangra participated in the album as well as Wyclef Jean, who is always connected to the new urban sounds of the world. Her Montreal performance will also mark the return of the BAILE MTL night, and in Toronto, she will headline the Pop Montreal showcase at CMW.




Je suis très heureux et très fier d'annoncer que nous faisons venir Dj Rekha au Canada pou jouer à Montréal et à Toronto. Rekha fait la promotion du Bhangra à New York depuis plus de 10ans par l'intermédiaire de sa soirée mensuelle Basement Bhangra. C'est l'une des figures importantes de la scène en Amérique du Nord ainsi qu'un exemple for de nombreuses femmes d'origines sud asiatique, ou plus généralement pour les femmes immigrantes. En Octobre dernier, elle a publiée l'album Basement Bhangra, une étape importante dans sa carrière qui célèbre les 10 ans de la soirée. La plupart des gros noms du Bhangra ont participés à cet album de même que Wyclef Jean, qui est toujours connecté à ce qui se fait de nouveau dans les sons urbains mondiaux. Sa prestation montréalaise marquera également le retour des soirées Baile MTL et à Toronto, elle sera la tête d'affiche du showcase de Pop Montreal pour la Canadian Music Week.

Unhide The Truth About Canadian Salsa

oui je sais c'est une image de Tango

Not that I'm a salsa specialist or an "amateur éclairé" at all, but this guys applied to play at Pop Montreal this year (the festival i'm part of) and their songs got me by their energy and their dance floor oriented compositions. Cache is a 8 piece salsa band from Toronto with members from all over the place. Here's what you can find in their biography:

"Caché's members combine a variety of musical skills and backgrounds including jazz, salsa, cumbia and African rhythms. Many people refer to salsa indifferent styles, such as Cuban, New York or Puerto Rican. Working together, the members of Caché have created their own style of salsa which they consider uniquely Canadian."

I will let you judge about the Canadiana feeling of it by enjoying some of their tracks. You can also download their full album by going on their website.

Salsa: CACHE - El Sonero Llego

Cumbia: CACHE - Vuelvo a mi Carnaval

Instrumental: CACHE - Willys Theme At Another Level
