Joëlle Rabu & Buwa present new show – Just the 2 of Us

Wed Nov 27th @ 7:30 pm

You may be hard-pressed to find a more unexpected singing duo than veteran, award-winning Canadian chanteuse Joëlle Rabu and Nigerian-born rising star Buwa. Born on opposite sides of the world and decades apart they have nonetheless met their musical match in one another. Two vocal powerhouses, with musical tastes and ambitions blurring all lines of genre and era, Joëlle & Buwa join forces in a new show – Just the 2 of Us.

It is a celebration of their favourite music spanning decades and a half a dozen genres; from Édith Piaf and Shirley Bassey; to Aretha Franklin and Etta James; from Elton John to Whitney Houston; from iconic Broadway hits to pure Canadiana and beyond. Though nostalgia abounds, Joëlle & Buwa interpret each song through the lens of their diverse experiences, breathing fresh life and vitality into timeless classic melodies and immortal songs. Humour, engaging banter from the nostalgic playful to the edgy risqué is always on the menu with these two singers.

What awaits…sincere storytelling, heart-stopping ballads, unforgettable musical prowess, backed by a fabulous ensemble of multi-instrumentalists, and framed by a friendship that defies all expectations. Together, Joëlle & Buwa aim to showcase the enduring power of music to transcend borders and generations.

Musicians include Brad Shipley, Alex Lee, and Nico Rhodes.
