Chris White presents this fascinating concert featuring award-winning musicians Ginalina (Vancouver) and Sophie Lukacs (Montreal) performing separately and together.
Ginalina (Gina Lam) delivers powerful 'fusion folk' performances that are inspired by connecting with nature, exploring her cultural heritage and building community. A second generation Canadian with Taiwanese roots, Ginalina plays guitar, ukulele and violin, and sings in English, Mandarin, Taiwanese and French. Her six albums have been recognized with a Canadian Folk Music Award and two Western Canadian Music Awards, as well as four Juno Award nominations and five Canadian Folk Music Award nominations. Her busy multidisciplinary artistic career includes performing with several groups, running ukulele workshops as a Kala ukulele 'ambassador', performing and recording music for children, writing books, and mentoring emerging artists. Ginalina believes in the purpose and power of music to inspire curiosity, compassion and change.
Sophie Lukacs is a kora player and singer-songwriter who received the award for 'Global Album of the Year' at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards. Born in Budapest, Sopie's musical journey began with classical violin and Hungarian folk songs, but a chance encounter in Burkina Faso while in university changed everything. It was her first taste of the West African kora, a 21-stringed harp-lute from the Mandingue empire traditionally played only by men from the griot musical caste. Sophie moved to Bamako to study with kora legend Toumani Diabaté and stayed for seven years. She now performs across the globe, bringing her original music interwoven with Mandingue and Hungarian Folk songs, and singing in English, French, Bambara and Hungarian. Her story shows that music has no borders, only bridges waiting to be built.
