DALLAS ARCAND JR

The story Arcand Jr. is telling through his hoop dance centres around a young warrior who has trouble running away from his predators.

He prays to the Creator, who grants him the hoops — which allow him to shapeshift into different animals, like an eagle or a bear.

The journey is an important one to Arcand Jr. — with a little bit of his own journey to hoop dancing on an international stage weaved in. He said he and Reconciliation are hoping to show how important reconciliation is to Indigenous people in Canada and elsewhere

JOYCE N'SANAis the new 2022 Radio-Canada Revelation, and the voice of Afro-Blue-Hop. Originally known for her Reggae with incredible intensity, the little woman with a big voice now presents music that is a tasty mix of Afro-blues and Hip-hop that delivers a clear and determined message, she spreads an art of peace. A mountain of emotions, with catchy rhythms, and a voice that straddles softness and hoarse climbs.

Winner of the Juno Best Blues Album in 2005, his unique talent has continued to grow ever since.
