Featuring: KUNE

KUNE is an 11-piece award-winning collective that embodies the energy, complexity and creativity of one of the world’s most diverse cities. Bringing together 10 immigrant musicians from Iraq to Burkina Faso, Peru and China, alongside one Métis-Canadian artist, KUNE blends musical traditions rarely heard together on the same stage. They create a space to remember our origins and learn from each other’s differences. KUNE’s performances are a shared moment of connection: where difference becomes dialogue and sound becomes community.
