FreePlay Duo
Multifaceted musicians Dylan Bell and Suba Sankaran join forces to create the FreePlay Duo. Described as “inspired eclecticism”, Dylan and Suba will take you from the concert halls of Europe, to the jazz clubs of Manhattan, to the temples of India, and back to the cultural mosaic of Toronto… all without leaving your seat. Both vocalists and multi-instrumentalists, Dylan and Suba combine and re-combine styles and configurations to give a sound far larger than two people might suggest. The FreePlay Duo engages audiences with a wide-ranging repertoire and a genuine desire to connect with people. For more information, go to: dylanbell.ca
Soul Influence
Soul Influence is an acclaimed panAfrican a cappella ensemble with members from Ghana, Kenya, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Performing in groups of three to seven, this group produces richly layered vocal harmonies in multiple African languages (i.e. Bemba, Lingala, Ndebele, Swahili, Shona, SeSotho, Tonga, Taita, Twi, Zulu).
For more information about them and their latest album, please visit soulinfluence.org
Cadence
Four Men. Four Microphones. No Instruments. Start with a playlist that covers jazz, popular music, doo-wop, even classical. Add in four guys who can’t help but have fun. The result is a show that has something for everyone: instrumental imitation, sophisticated harmonies, and engaging audience interaction." This winning formula has earned CADENCE international recognition as “one of the finest quartets to make an appearance in the a cappella scene”.' cadence-unplugged.com
