JANE AND FINCH EMERGING ARTISTS TO RELEASE THEIR CDs EN MASSE….

Greetings!  

If you are in the Toronto area...and if you are a believer that people power lies in the artistic expressions of a community, you need to follow what's happening in the Jane-Finch music scene, aka the Palisade Music Arts Academy (PMAA). Artists with skill and accolades in audio production, live instrumentation, film, video, photography and more provide the training. Ruben ‘Beny’ Esguerra, of A New Tradition, a conscious and innovative sound of Toronto’s latin and spoken word and hip hop union, is one of the professional artists involved and he is excited to present the work of his students at an upcoming event this Friday November 29th.  More on this below.  

PMAA  has teamed up with Youth ‘N’  Charge,a drop-in studio music program, training youth to produce an original EP.  Youth ‘N’Charge is a youth-driven initiative out of the San Romanoway Revitalization Association, which houses a fully operational recording studio, as well as a safe space for youth to access social services and referrals.

Those involved, create an original album to be marketed through media arts, getting a "hands-on" experience of producing and promoting their own music.  All of this inspires aspiring artists from the community to pic up the mic and pass it along.

CDs DEBUTS ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 29TH..15 SAN ROMANWAY CINEPLEX SCREENING ROOM...8PM...$5 COVER CHARGE

You are best to come on out to PALISTYLEZ COMPILATION VOL.2 THIS FRIDAY NOVEMBER 29TH to support and hear the productions of the artists who have worked so hard, and so persistently to see this project through. The artists/graduates will receive their diplomas and will release their debut album.  I am intrigued by this project and urge you to come out and support!  Everyone who's ever made it started somewhere….it would not be the first time that the Jane and Finch community turned out some gems for the T-dot, and the world.


Peace!
