When Kelly Bado released her album, Hey Terre, last October, it was a bittersweet moment for the award-winning Francophone artist. Covid-19 restrictions forced her to mark the moment from afar, with a virtual performance we're now pleased to present.

As an African immigrant living in Winnipeg, Kelly is inspired by the music and cultures she has discovered in her travels to create her own blended sound.

“We all have something to learn and something to offer others – diversity is our strength. As a black Franco-Manitoban, I am very proud to present this show, to share my African roots, and also to demand a more just and sustainable world.”
– Kelly Bado
