Revival Bar (783 College St, Toronto)

Received an email from tour manager Ms. Dawit today, who has done quite some work in Haiti prior to the 7.0 earthquake that hit the island Jan. 12. She notes: PAP is the centre where the kids in the films I have done live. The center is destroyed and the women and kids are on the street with no access to food etc as of yet through aid. We will be raising more money for the center with bracelets during my Spring 2010 highschool tour. Until then, I hope those in Toronto will come out to support Haiti, Je T’aime as the event will be donating 100% of the proceeds directly to Plan Canada’s Haiti Relief Fund. I will be there in spirit.

Stone Lounge (783 College St, at Shaw, downstairs of Revival)

I met HENRY MOSES years ago as part of his high school co-op program.  Now this dedicated and soulful producer is debuting his first solo effort “LOVE & HAPPINESS“.

Henry should be an inspiration to all aspiring producers out there!  He learned his craft, refined his skills and got his music to the world.  The album features appearances by Louwop, Jessica Kaya, Amenta, Mason Payne, yours truly Masia One and straight instrumental tracks.

The album is available for FREE download here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NCYLWMWX

Henry!  Proud of you…you better believe I’ll be at this event to support Love & Happiness.

About Ladyfest:

Ladyfest Toronto is an annual non-profit interdisciplinary festival organized by a grassroots, open, do-it-yourself collective of feminists each dedicated to having fun with feminism and putting good politics into practice through art. Each year the Ladyfest Toronto collective organizes a festival of art, music, performance, poetry, and politics meant to celebrate community and the projects and accomplishments of Toronto feminists. By offering a space to showcase some of the many Toronto artists dedicated to making their work pro-feminist, political, resistant, and inclusive, Ladyfest hopes to work as a hub of feminists activity that connects existing communities and generates new ones. In addition to practicing a non-hierarchical method of organizing the festival, our collective operates from a sex and body positive, non-exclusive, anti-oppressive, pro-feminist, politically charged framework and embraces all feminist peoples. We are absolutely dedicated to making the entire festival accessible, inclusive, and safe in every way. We hope that by making spaces for community members, artists, and musicians to share and perform we can open up places from which Toronto’s various pro-feminist political voices can be heard, where new communities can be made, and existing ones can work in coalition on shared projects and toward common social and political goals. Ladyfest is not just an annual festival; we hope that it is the kind of event that can generate new projects, possibilities, and communities and above all proliferate politics without pretentiousness. Ladyfest Toronto operates according to several key values; these include accessibility, DIY-ing, positivity, exposure, connection, and inclusion.
