Renée Neufville of Zhané, Kelvyn Boy, King Cruff, Keshia Chanté and MC Bondé will share their Flavours & Vibes at a Black History Month event in Ontario this month.
“Flavours & Vibes is more than a concert — it’s an energy, a feel-good fusion of every genre coming live and direct from some of the most in-demand heavy hitters and up-and-coming music phenoms in the business,” said Jesse Jones, head of Jones & Jones Group, who are partnering with Performing Arts Brampton to create the event.
On Feb. 23, an exciting array of global stars will hit the mainstage at The Rose Brampton — including Zhane’s Grammy-nominated lead vocalist Renée Neufville, whose seminal hits Hey Mr. DJ, Sending My Love and Groove Thang have topped charts and been covered by artists like Common, Donald Glover and Chloe X Halle. The night will also feature one of Africa’s most viral artists, Kelvyn Boy, who has graced stages in Australia, Jamaica, the U.K., Germany, Switzerland, and Sierra Leone, performing with artists like Ziggy Marley, Mr. Vegas and Busy Signal.
Also on the roster: King Cruff, grandson of the masterful Bob Marley and a recent addition to the Universal Music Canada artist roster; Zimbabwe-born and Edmonton-raised multi-hyphenate Soji Joseph; global recording artist and dancer Nina Ricchie; one of Canada’s top dancehall artists and most vibrant reggae performers Eyesus; classically trained pianist and pop/soul/R&B entertainer Falana, who has headlined in London, Paris, New York, and Lagos; and EverythingOshauN, the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter whose music has been featured in Soul Of The City and Heels.
Rounding out the list of notable names are two co-hosts who are stars in their own right: Juno-winning singer, TV personality and ET Canada co-host Keshia Chanté, and radio / TV personality MC Bondé aka The Voice of Africa.
The event begins at 6 p.m. with a pre-show mix and mingle featuring DJ Bizzy. Showtime is 8 p.m., with DJ Andre 905 keeping the crowd rocking between sets. Get tickets for the event HERE.
