Toronto’s newest Black music festival returns for a second year with a series of virtual showcases boasting some of the city’s best up-and-coming artists. Streaming live on YouTube, AFROWAVETO gives a much-needed platform to the city’s African, Caribbean, Indigenous Black Canadian and Afro-Latinx musicians and features rap, R&B, Afrobeats and dancehall genres. The festival was founded by Jamaican-Canadian artist Lexxicon, who will be performing in March. Other exciting performers include Omega Mighty (Feb. 24), Alicia Cinnamon (Feb. 24), EverythingOShauN (Mar. 24) and Bugatti Bonsu (Mar. 24).
