Final Gumbo...of the year.
Sorry if we made your heart skip a beat :-)
We've been letting it simmer for a bit but Gumbo ain't going nowhere! We're having our final party of the year by throwing a massive weekend-long jam. One night in SPiN Toronto. The next night in Ausgang Plaza Montreal!

Catch us in one city or better yet hop on a VIA train or Porter flight and come and experience the unique Gumbo flavors of each city. We have released a batch od 50 tickets that include a free ticket to the Gumbo party in the other city. If you can't use it, just "gift" it to a friend/family. After all it's the season of giving. Select "2 Cities. 1 Ticket" while quantities last.

This one's another international edition! Our special guest DJ is Anais B from Paris and she will be joined by veteran Toronto DJ Jester and the Afrorave king DJ Camron. It's going to get hot in the Gumbo kitchen. If you know, you know. If you don't know, you better ask somebody

ABOUT:

Founded by hosts Wan and Chi, the GUMBO music series has traveled from Toronto to New Orleans to Montreal to Brooklyn where they collaborated with Afropunk for an epic throwdown. Now going on its 14th edition and gearing up to celebrate it’s 3 year anniversary in August, GUMBO has quickly gained notoriety as a sweaty, dancey, sure thing wherever and whenever it touches down. Almost all installations of GUMBO have sold out before the doors opened! GUMBO pulls from a deep roster of DJs to make connections between Afrobeats, Soca and Dancehall and excursions into the worlds of Kompa, Soukous and Afro House music.

Everybody makes the flavourful Gumbo soup in their own way and call it by their own name. The Gumbo soup as it is known in Louisiana is called Okro or draw soup in Nigeria, Callalo in Trinidad and Quimbombo in Cuba. The thought behind the GUMBO music series, debuting in Kensington Market on a Caribana Thursday, is similarly as simple as it is complex. It's a combination of sounds that overlap, blend and clash to create a delectable music palate. It is the connection between Afrobeats and Soca that intersects with Reggae/Dancehall and overlaps with Samba, Baille funk and Afro house, with a dash of hip hop & R&B. They feed off each other and they all feed us. Imagine Black Coffee + Shabba Ranks + Machel Montano + WizKid all in the sound system and you end up with GUMBO.

This is what you get when a Supafrik & a Shaman meet. We select the DJs, they play the music and you bring the vibes. Together we make GUMBO
