Event Description
About Balaklava Blues featuring opening performance by Borelson:
Opening the night on July 1 is Borelson, a Toronto-based multi-disciplinary artist, Borelson's unique sound combines hip-hop and Afrofusion with jazz, classical music, and gospel. Inspired by Afrofuturism and Ubuntu philosophy, the award-winning musician's work bridges communities and aims to drive hope and a sense of collective freedom. Borelson has performed all over the world, from Paris to Miami and Ghana to Montreal...
Headlining the evening is Balaklava Blues, the brainchild of Mark and Marichka Marczyk, creators of the multi-award-winning guerrilla-folk-opera Counting Sheep and leaders of Lemon Bucket Orkestra.
Falling somewhere between a traditional song cycle and a full-blown multimedia techno show, the duo fuses Ukrainian polyphony and other folk traditions with EDM, trap, and dubstep, using their music as a launching pad to explore the blues that have long emanated from the Ukrainian steppe.
