Their new CD, Island Rock, features a hot stew of spicy funk, dance rock, and soulful reggae that will have you toasting imaginary margaritas and groovin' to the Mobadass beat!

Alexis Normand
Saskatoon, SK - Warm folk ambiance comforts the palate while the sweet aftertaste of jazz lingers... Alexis Normand carries her audience away on a journey to places where one discovers her reflections and observations: she is perplexed by love in a bus station; she finds renewal in an inner space; Saskatchewan's vast horizon is home to her roots. Notes twinkle on the piano, rhythms groove on the guitar and a vocal interpretation charged with emotion brings it all together. One settles into this poised intimacy to discover a delicate humour, an inviting glance and a cordial smile... the invitation is yours to discover this emerging talent!
Mama Lljata
Regina, SK - Mama Llajta, a six member Latin fusion band, has been playing for over 25 years. Melding together the rhythms of Chile, El Salvador and Canada, while adding dashes of Afro-Peruvian, Afro-Colombian and Cuban musical elements and sprinkles of Bolivian and Venezuelan music, and rumba flamenca, Mama Llajta is inspired by the Andean music which encourages political freedom, love and traditional fiesta.
Ian Kelly
Montreal, QC - Love, war and the environment: these are preoccupations of alternative/folk singer/songwriter Ian Kelly, a sensitive and intellectual young man whose hushed vocals and innate sense of melody bring new colours and flavours to folk music. Kelly is supported by Jon Day on keyboards and Mark Nelson on drums. His second album, Speak Your Mind, reaffirms Kelly's presence, a young folk artist with a voice and message.
