SUMMARY:Moskitto Bar live at Canoe Landing
DESCRIPTION:*FREE LIVE CONCERT BEFORE CANADA BOSNIA GAME* \nWe are overjoyed to announce that Moskitto Bar will be performing at Canoe Landing Park before the first official World Cup match in Toronto: Canada vs Bosnia. Just a stones throw from the Fan Zone at Fort York\, come watch this free live concert before watching the match.  \nWe believe that Moskitto Bar represents modern Canada in so many ways. Multicultural\, with seven members from seven different nations\, who all met each other here\, in the historic meeting place of Toronto\, creating a unique Canadian sound. \nAs we prepare to welcome the world\, let’s all come together in the meeting place\, by the lake\, for a delightful\, heartwarming and magical free show. We are the world. In a city. \n——- \nMoskitto Bar is a fresh and unique sound created in the multi-cultural hub of Toronto\, Canada. Their sound combines a beautiful and original mix of Ukrainian\, Balkan\, Iraqi Middle-Eastern and French Celtic music. \nThe project was initiated by Tangi Ropars when he met newcomers Yura\, from Ukraine\, and Ahmed\, from Iraq.  In June 2016\, during a gathering in Northern Ontario\, they met every day in the woods to share and teach each other their respective melodies and rhythms. As they were playing\, the rural Ontario mosquitos\, were joyfully feasting on the multicultural group inspiring their eponymous name. \nAlmost two years later\, the trio connected with the notable violin player\, Fethi Nadjem freshly landed for Algeria\, adding his oriental flavour to the sound mix. More than the music\, despite their diverse traditions\, political and social stories\, they share a deeper connection\, a mutual love and respect for each other and a common desire to spread messages of unity. \nMembers of the family: \nTangi Ropars was born in Toronto\, grew up in France\, sings and plays the button accordion. \nYura Rafaluik is from Ukraine\, plays the cimbalom (hammer dulcimer) and sings. \nAhmed Moneka grew up in Baghdad\, Iraq\, sings Maqam (Arabic skills) and plays percussions. \nFethi Nadjem was born in Algeria\, plays the violin and sings. \nDemetrios Petsalakis was born in Greece\, plays oud. \nNaoki Hishinuma\, was born in Japan\, plays trumpet and tuba. \nChristopher Kettlewell\, was born in Canada\, plays the upright bass. \nMajd Sekkar\, was born in Syria\, plays the clarinet \nMarta Solek\, was born in Pologn\, plays the Suka and lyra. \n+ many more random amazing guest from all over the world
