2. LAL + Ryerson University FREE!

LAL is a Toronto based band that drew our curiosity not only because of their unique sound, but also because they are always fighting for change in our communities. When I met Rosina for tea one day, I learned that LAL has been in the Toronto music scene for 10 years and their socially conscious music has taken them around the world to places like Pakistan and India.

They will be making an appearance at Ryerson University’s Oakham House (55 Gould St., Toronto) on Wednesday March 31st from 8pm-10pm. The show is FREE, so bring your family and friends.

Join their Facebook Fan Page for more details.

What

With audience favourites like "Baghdad" and "Shades of Anger" and new pieces including "Trail of Tears". Come hear pieces from Hadeel performed live with music by the incredible "Lal". Also appearing is Reena Katz.

Rafeef Ziadah is a Palestinian spoken-word artist and activist. Rafeef started performing poetry in Toronto in 2003 with the spoken word collective Pueblo Unido and is the winner of the 2007 Mayworks Festival Poetry Face-Off. Rafeef’s poetry speaks to the struggle of immigrants to “make it to/in Canada ” and the politics of exile. Being Palestinian she reflects, in the CD, on the realities of her homeland today, a homeland to which she is not allowed to return.
