Celebrate! Holidays of the Global Village – Young Audience
“Celebrate! Holidays of the Global Village” gives young audiences an exhilarating glimpse into the multicultural mosaic of Holiday customs, celebrations and festivities enjoyed in Canada – Indigenous traditions, Ramadan, Bodhi Day (Buddhist), Carnival (Quebec), Chanukah, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Diwali, Kwanzaa (Pan-African), and Winter Solstice. Joining bandleader Chris McKhool (and Sultans of String mates Kevin Laliberte, Drew Birston) are special guests Shannon Thunderbird (Indigenous Elder) & Sandy Horn (from the Spoons), Aviva Chernick (Jaffa Road), Juan Carlos Medrano, Anwar Khurshid, Maryem and Ernie Tollar.
“Many have tried but none have come as close to capturing what it means to truly celebrate multiculturalism as Chris McKhool. The Toronto singer-songwriter epitomizes what many Canadians have come to love about this country.”
Deanne Fisher, City Parent
“I was impressed by his musical virtuosity and personal appeal…His songs succeed!”
