Overview

Celebrate the incredible community of musicians from across the world and around the block who will make Toronto sing and dance! Luminato’s closing weekend features surprise collaborations and musical conversations between incredible locals and international stars; David Pecaut Square will be transformed, as we take you around the world and back home again, with curated food and drink, creative activities for all ages, and all the magic of downtown Toronto.

Come groove with us on Saturday afternoon to the sounds of Moneka Arabic Jazz, then stick around for the resplendent Yaya Bey’s soul, jazz and RnB with a cheeky edge. Polaris Music Prize winner Congolese-born Pierre Kwenders launches the evening with Afrobeats, followed by a double bill of Indigenous hip-hop from Snotty Nose Rez Kids, and Latiné New Yorker Princess Nokia. Come back down on Sunday to witness the local premiere of Lakota multi-disciplinary artist Mato Wayuhi, travel the Black Atlantic with Lusophone ensemble Ayom, rejoice to the funk, soul, hip-hop and everything-in-between NOLA vibes of Tank and the Bangas, and dance the night away with the crown prince of Samba, Zeca Pagodinho.
