Canadian-born Tasneem is a singer / songwriter whose lilting voice and Pop groove-based music is infused with rhythms that reflect her east African and Indian Roots.

Congolese-Belgian singer / rapper Baloji and his band create a blend of traditional Congolese music, Rumba, Nigerian Afro Funk and Soukous into what he calls retro-futuristic tradimodern style with lyrics that weave socio-political stories about life in Kinshasa and Belgium.
