Live Music by Lady Son
One of the most arresting voices on the Canadian music scene, often drawing comparisons to music legend Celia Cruz, Lady Son (aka Yeti Ajasin), brings a powerful yet gentle contemporary voice to the rich vocal and percussion traditions of Afro-Cuban music -- with messages of everyday life, love and the issues that affect us all. Her 2009 debut album, “Semillas,” received the New Music Award for Best World Album, and she just released a second album, "Afrika Libre," that layers a broader range of musical and cultural styles over her. Warm, husky, commanding vocals, potent percussion, and a supremely skilled backing band, all informed by her uniquely multicultural Nigerian, Italian, and Jewish background. Lady Son is one of the core artists in Toronto’s thriving “La Habana del Norte” community focused at Lula Lounge and has shared the stage with many of the giants of Afro-Cuban music such as Los Van Van, Oscar D’Leon, Alfredo de la Fe and Ricardo Lemvo, Pupy. y Los que Son Son, Changuiito ,Roberto Carcases.
