Walkabout

Maylee Todd

I haven't been to Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market for a while. It seems less crowded than before, but there were still lots of people walking around enjoying the free performances and ethnic food. One of the chilean empanada place opened up its garage lane, revealing a giant Phoenix made from discarded household items: wires, plastic buckets, and so on nestling at the back of the lane. One of the band that created a big draw was a soul/hip-hop outfit called Dead Bent. They all looked about 15.

Coinciding with Pedestrian Sunday, the Kapinasan Filipino-Canadian Cultural Centre presented the Kultura Festival to highlight young, local artists of Filipino descent. One of the big acts was singer Maylee Todd who ditched her retro-soul songs for a couple of chill electronica pieces on the Tenori-on, a synthesized light-box that bleeps and twinkles.
