About the event
From the heartfelt tango of Buenos Aires to the folkloric rhythms of the Andes, witness the vibrant mosaic of Argentine culture brought to life by the captivating performances of Jessica Lloyd and Louis Simão.
From concert hall to opera stage, from studio sessions to nightclubs, Jessica Lloyd’s genre-crossing vocal abilities never fail to impress. She has been afforded opportunities to work with such ensembles as Tapestry New Opera Works, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and The Canadian Opera Company. In her non-classical pursuits, Jessica was the lead singer with the Billy Ledbetter Orchestra, a big band from Houston, TX. She was also a founding member of the a cappella trio, wayward sister. For the last ten years Jessica has collaborated with multi-instrumentalist and composer, Louis Simão exploring the musical traditions of the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking worlds. When she is not performing, Jessica is a teacher in the Rainbow District School Board.
Award-winning Toronto-based musician Louis Simão has been composing, performing, and recording as a multi-instrumentalist in a variety of genres for over twenty years. Simão has performed and/or recorded with Nelly Furtado, Kiran Ahluwalia, Patricia Cano, and Dominic Mancuso (2010 JUNO winner) among others. In April of 2017, he won Song of the Year at the International Portuguese Music Awards and in November of that same year, he was named World Solo Artist of the Year by the Canadian Folk Music Awards for his first solo release, “A Luz” (The Light). In April of 2018, Louis was nominated by the Independent Music Awards for 2018 World Beat Artist of the Year.
