8PM - Paula Sofía
Singer-songwriter, composer, and actress, Paula Sofía was born in Guatemala City. She put song-writing aside for a long time throughout her early years, however at 19 years old she started writing her own songs and ever since then she found the love for singing her own compositions.
Her first solo project, Quinto de Hora (which translates into “A Fifth of an Hour”), produced by Alysha Brilla, is an album of 12 one-minute songs. This marks the beginning of her career as she plans to release the other 4 “Fifths of an Hour” over the years, collaborating with different artists to get “Around the Clock in 60 songs”.
9PM - Kazdoura is a Toronto-based band that serves up Arabic fusion with a modern twist. Equal parts nostalgia and reinvention, their style is a cross-cultural blend of Eastern and Western music that blends old-world Arabic classics with jazz, funk, electro-pop, and disco.
