Celebrate Black Professionals in Music at WAG-Qaumajuq!

BPM X WAG-Qaumajuq is returning on November 1 to celebrate Black music makers in Manitoba! Meet us in the Gallery for live music featuring the 90s indie-folk-inspired acoustic sounds of tofusmell, the soul/R&B/hip hop sounds and Afrobeat/Amapiano melodies of Qway C, and DJ Gamabear spinning tunes throughout the night.

The evening will be intimate and interactive, allowing the artists to express themselves through stripped-down, visceral performances that will address identity and community, and celebrate the African Diaspora.

Join us for great music and people plus some delicious food courtesy of So Sumptuous!
