NVRC’s Live & Local summer events series delivers free, fun community experiences for residents and visitors all summer long in locations across North Vancouver. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy the tunes!

Tonye Aganaba is a Black African queer, disabled and non-binary immigrant and
uninvited settler living on the unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish &
Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. They were born in London, England - the belly of the beast
and the stronghold of imperialism, colonialism and racial capitalism, and immigrated to
so-called Canada at the age of 13. They proudly trace their ancestral line to the lands
known today as Nigeria and Zimbabwe.

Tonye is an interdisciplinary artist and musician - and their style is dynamic and fluid -
weaving playful threads of Soul, Neo-Folk, Funk, Hip-Hop and R&B. Their shows,
gatherings, and workshops are connected and intimate experiences, and evoke a kind
of vulnerability that we all hunger for. They are a steadfast fixture in their local arts
community - and a passionate and political being.
