Ahmed Moneka & Friends
Join us at 2:00 Friday, August 15 at Waring House 392 Sandy Hook Rd., Picton
Ahmed Moneka & Friends reflects a life and journey in art from Baghdad to Toronto. It showcases melody from Iraq mixed with African groove and rhythm, inherited from the Moneka family. Jazz and blues is the best genre to bridge Afro-Arabic background and the fascinating musical diversity of Torontonian performers.
Ahmed often finds inspiration to write songs by researching old stories from Iraq as realities of the present moment locally or internationally.
Moneka’s sophomore album, Kanzafula, is the first Iraqi album to be nominated for a Canadian Juno award and also won a Dora and a Stingray Rising Star Award.
Tickets are available at Eventbrite.
