On Thursday a "nu-folk" happening comes to our little part of the world. The Organic Streetscape Projekt is a Canadian tour based around a collaboration between Ukrainian and Canadian musicians and artists that will include several exhibits and shows in several cities as well as collaboration with Toronto gypsy-punk troupe WORLDLY SAVAGES and other special guests.
The first event in this tour will take place in the Snowball Gallery on Queen St. West, just steps east of Roncesvalles Avenue.
The evening will feature a live performance by folk group Ludy Dobri from Ukraine and installations by local and international writers and artists. The event is meant to be a collaborative show on the theme of Ukrainian-Canadian identity and the intersection of folk tradition in a contemporary world.
I mention this event since I have run across the Ludy Dobri several times now busking on the streets and in the parks of Toronto and have enjoyed the sound they create. So I was happily surprised to find out today that they will be performing around the corner from me.
Show starts at 8pm I believe.
