It's a small world...

  The Small World Music Society is hosting its sixth annual fall celebration of international sounds till October 5, 2007. The series of performances at the Small World Music Festival, began on September 20th and will continue to regale audiences, with music from all over the world at various venues across the city.

  This festival has played host to several artists who have made their Canadian debut and thereafter moved onto flourishing careers. Many award-winning artists have visited this festival and this year is no exception.

Artists who are participating this year include Estrella Acosta, Mamak Khadem, Plan C, Dhoad Gypsies, Constantinople, Homayoun Sakhi, Amazones, Gould goes Global, Brina, Carmen Consoli, World on a String, Jayme Stone, Marcel Khalife, Mariza, Mr. Something Something and Oliver Mtukudzi. While all of the names may not be familiar to those who listen to mainstream pop, rest assured they are accomplished virtuosos in their respective realms.

  True artistry is on display with each presenting their own expressions and interpretations of a truly global world. Whether it's the Dhoad Gypsies from Thar Desert in Rajasthan who brought their vibrant colours and super-energised dancing to an upcoming collaboration called World on a String where different string instruments will be played for your pleasure, it's all there.
