A month since we wrapped MiBoSo: Prose In Focus@contactphoto at @decoytoronto - and the amount of time it took for us to soak in the energy and reflect on an incredible exhibition.

Extending infinite gratitude to Decoy Bar, our host venue, and the entire team (Brandon, Jordan, Corey, Michael, Marisa), CONTACT Photography Festival, our family and friends (old and new). Thank you!

A huge thank you to @djronjon for joining us last week for Afro Brasilica! It was a special one. We’d love to have you back soon.

In the meantime, we’re at @contxtbytrane every Thursday. See you tomorrow. 🙃

🎉 Afro Brasilica
📍 254 Lansdowne Ave (upstairs)
🕖 7 pm doors, 8-11 pm music

This week! Thursday, May 14 @contxtbytrane: Afro Brasilica is excited to welcome Victor Monsivais to the stage, a musician whose understanding and passion for Bossa Nova, Brazilian Samba, Latin Jazz and beyond is something best experienced in person.

🗓️ Thursday, May 14
📍 254 Lansdowne Ave (upstairs)
🕖 7 pm doors, 8-11 pm music

For nearly 40 years, Victor has been composing, arranging and performing across genres with a rare authenticity. Over the past decade he’s become a fixture at some of the GTA’s most beloved rooms - The Rex Hotel, Reservoir Lounge, The Gladstone and Lula Lounge.

His repertoire pulls from the greatest Brazilian composers, Jobim, Newton Mendoça, Ary Barroso, Dorival Caymmi and Ze Ketti, sung in their original Portuguese. His Latin and Jazz sets carry the same spirit: Buena Vista Social Club, Santana and Ellington, played the way they were meant to sound.

Fun fact! Victor is also a trained architect, and it shows. There’s a structure and intentionality to the way he moves through music that makes every set feel like something designed, not just played.

If you haven’t caught him live yet, Thursday is a good night to change that.

Join us this Saturday (May 2nd) at @highnotesco to celebrate the launch of Breaking Sound - an exhibition by Rhandy Adolphe (SAMBAranthony) - part of CONTACT Photography Festival.

From 12PM until close, step into a space where photography and sound move together.
An exhibition you can walk through with an amazing lineup of performances you’ll feel in your chest.

All are welcome.
Details in the bio.

Breaking Sound is a month-long exhibition by Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist Rhandy Adolphe (SAMBAranthony).

Through a body of work that fuses sound and sight through movement, the exhibition translates photography into visual sound waves captured through dance and DJ’ing. The installation explores vibration as a shared language; one capable of bending perception and dissolving boundaries between what we hear and what we see.

At its core, Breaking Sound reflects on the idea that all sensation originates from the same material force: vibration itself. Visitors are invited to move through the space at their own pace, whether in stillness or in motion, and to return throughout the month to experience the work from new perspectives.

We’ll be raffling off an exclusive print from the exhibition, with the winner announced at the end of May. So come through early, come back often, and give yourself a few chances to take a piece of it home!
