Reggae Roots at Sistema Toronto – Jane Finch

06-04-2025

Working in this field has shown us how a diverse, inclusive curriculum can activate a student’s passion and sense of self. At Sistema Toronto, our goal is to have repertoires that represent our students and the communities they live in. With that in mind, Sistema Toronto invited Juno-nominated reggae artist Jah’Mila to work with students at our Jane Finch Centre this March as part of a months-long exploration of reggae music titled Reggae Roots. Our students spent January and February preparing for three days of workshops led by Jah’Mila and a culminating concert.

In Chicago, One Piece of Music Brings a City Together

06-04-2025

During the two magical years I spent in Jamaica as a child, my aunt would visit our house every Thursday evening after work. I remember our family spending dinnertime on orange pleather cushions, listening to broadcaster Leonie Forbes recite poetry on the radio as classical music played in the background. That dinner table is where I first fell in love with Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, and my family still talks about those Thursday nights we spent together.

Now, as Ravinia searches for inventive ways to reinvigorate interest in great musical works, those Thursday evenings come to mind.

Dos semanas, 13 conciertos, 22 músicos: Ghetto Classics All-Stars Tour Kenia

02-05-2025

Nairobi, Kenia, noviembre de 2024.

Una pequeña habitación bordea el mayor vertedero de África oriental. El calor abrasa a través de los techos de hojalata mientras el polvo se levanta del suelo de cemento. Dentro, 20 músicos keniatas se concentran en el saxofonista belga Toine Thys: captan cada uno de sus gestos y expresiones, ansiosos por no perderse ni una nota. En la sección de batería, el batería y pedagogo canadiense Karl Jannuska pasa sus baquetas a un músico keniano y coge los shakers. Juntos, están a punto de esculpir el aire espeso con un ritmo de afrojazz.

También están a punto de embarcarse en su primera gira nacional.
