Cameron Latimer studied Jazz at Malaspina College in Nanaimo and has played the guitar for 16 years. Shortly after his studies, he began playing in bands on the island and in Vancouver. Long the side man - Latimer's now stepping up to the centre mic and leading the show. This concert was recorded at the same time as he was releasing his debut album, "Fallen Apart". The style is alternative country pop music - coming to you from the heart of East Vancouver.
Eneida Marta's songs take their inspiration from the everyday life of Guineau Bissau. Singing in Portuguese and Kriol, in a style that is somewhat reminiscent of Cesaria Evora, Marta sings of the strength of the women in her country and the courage of living in the moment. Her band is percussion rich and utilizes such unusual instruments as the "tina" - a large gourd that is thumped while semi-immersed in a wine barrel.
