A rare opportunity to hear this complex music reinterpreted for an intimate setting, the show will cover the entire “Mingus” album as well as other pieces from Joni’s and Mingus’ lifeworks. Come expecting your listening experience to be both heavy and humorous; disturbing and peaceful; ferocious and tender.Sarah Kennedy – vocals

♥ Soul HipHop Saturday @ The Zoo ♥ Valentina + LavaChild + DJ Johny Stone 

Soul HipHop Saturday with Various Vancouver talents

“The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing.” – Godfather of Soul, James Brown

Vancouver’s most talented and beautiful artists are gathering for a night of Soul, HipHop and Old School at The Kozmik Zoo.

Jan 11th Line up: 8pm / $8 cover

Valentina : Soul, latin, pop

Power vocals, R&B/soul, Loopstation, Go.

Originally from Santiago, Chile, with a stint in Squamish, Valentina currently resides in Burnaby, B.C. where she works tirelessly on her vocals that blow the roof off every single venue she plays in the city. A trained musician with a passion for soul, Valentina works her piano, tambourine and loop pedal (in a pair of 5 inch heels no less) to deliver a set of originals that has your heart aching for more and your feet dancing through all her upbeat soul/R&B covers. This fierce female brings vocals that are unbeknownst to any other act out of Vancouver and beyond so be sure to check out one of her shows if you feel the need to catch the next big thing! Currently working on her upcoming EP, Valentina will be everywhere soon so come catch her in her early stages to say you were there when it all began.

LavaChild (Chantel Upshaw)

“I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.” ~ Jack Kerouac

“There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.” ~ Jack Kerouac

Johny Stone: Old School HipHop , Soul Funk, House : The man in charge of your grooves, Johny has been spinning in Vancouver for many years, his specialty is infectious beats of Old School, Hip Hop, Soul and anything tasteful in that genre.
