- **Event Name**: Waleed Kush Afro-Jazz Matinée - Live at Queen Street Commons
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for a special matinée concert welcoming the Waleed Kush Afro-Jazz quintet to Kitchener!

Waleed Kush Afro-Jazz is always evolving, just like the artists and landscapes that inspire it. The band lives in a constant state of “Becoming,” embracing a spirit of exploration, inclusivity, and accessibility. Their music is a rich blend of African rhythms and American jazz harmonies to create a true cultural melting pot.

More than just a band, Waleed Kush-Afro Jazz draws from African values of community and shared knowledge. The group isn’t solely about performing; it’s dedicated to building connections – both within the ensemble and with audiences. Their workshops mirror this philosophy, emphasizing mentorship and collective learning.

This philosophy inspired Waleed to call himself and his bandmates “Humanity Practitioners,” due to their first-hand experience seeing music as a healing art form. Through their music and interaction with audiences, they create a space for healing—for themselves and everyone they reach.
