On March 6, the Winnipeg chapter of the International Solidarity Rock Campaign will host an awareness-raising concert featuring some of the city’s best rock and roll. Rallying both support and funds for musicians in Cuba, local legends SubCity will be joined by The Shouting Ground (Winnipeg) and The Falklands (Edmonton) in what promises to be a high-energy affair.
In addition to the music, the West End will play host to an exhibition of Cuban art curated by Kelse Middleton of the University of Winnipeg’s Art History Students Association and the Manitoba-Cuba Solidarity will also be on hand to provide information on their activities.
The concert is an all-ages affair and tickets are on sale at the West End Cultural Centre as well as Music Trader in Osborne Village and Into the Music in the Exchange District. The event is supported by CKUW 95.9, UMFM 101.5, Half Pints Brewing Company, Transistor 66, Mondragon, Manitoba Music, Manitoba-Cuba Solidarity, and Because Industries.
