Performers

Phonosonics (U-NXT/Universal) is one of Canada’s hottest and fastest-emerging Roots Reggae acts. Since 2015, this group has been dazzling audiences on the west coast with their reverent, yet modern take on 1960’s Rocksteady, Ska and Early Reggae. 

Their latest single End of the World has been a radio and critical smash. Phonosonics shines live as a 7-piece powerhouse of horns, harmonies and hooks.

Gisto and the Grateful Living blend reggae, funk, and soulful grooves into an electrifying live experience. Led by charismatic frontman Gisto, this dynamic band captivates audiences with infectious rhythms and uplifting vibes. 

Renowned for their high-energy performances and positive messages, they transform every venue into a dance-filled celebration. Join the Grateful Living movement and let the music elevate your spirit!

Muévete is a marimba ensemble that loves to get people on their feet and moving! The band has been playing together for many years, during which they have performed at festivals (Vancouver World Music Festival, Vancouver Island Music Festival, Richmond World Festival, Surrey Fusion Festival, and many more) and concerts around the province. This year, the group has been working hard on writing original songs that they can’t wait to share.

The musical group SweetPan is all about Canadians playing the steel drum, 'pan', the only acoustic musical invention of the 20th century, & clearly a major Caribbean contribution to world culture.
