Of Candor

Avenue Central Stage | 93 St & 118 Ave

It is in her introspective lyrics that you will find a true honesty and acceptance of the path it takes to create growth. This is what led Brooke Woods to create a new moniker for her musical endeavours, Of Candor. In writing about relatable although contrasting themes of hopeful anticipation and heartbreak, Brooke found that many of the things that we as humans feel the deepest or want the most are also the things we keep hidden deep below the surface, safely tucking away our vulnerability.

Now a decade post "Mount Pleasant,” they have become a leading force in the city's hip hop scene, from opening for names like De La Soul, The Roots, Public Enemy and Mos Def to performing at festivals like the Calgary Folk Fest, Sled Island, Warped Tour, Shambhala and Rock the Bells. They were nominated for Best Hip Hop Album at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards and have toured through Canada, the United States, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway and Switzerland. The DFE have released music independently as well as through labels in Canada, Japan, France and Finland. The crew most recently released a 7" vinyl 'Hold Down the Fort' via Radio Krimi Records (France) in Spring 2018 that reached #2 on the CBC Radio 3 Top 30 chart. A new EP is planned to be released in Fall 2019.

With a non-stop, dizzying pace, the group delivers mind-blowing acrobatic sequences with extraordinary precision, made all the more dramatic by hypnotic percussion.” Sharonne Cohen, Montreal’s Festival International Nuits d’Afrique.

Multidisciplinary artist who started his circus training with the Guinean troupe Circus Baobab, Yamoussa Bangoura began his professional career joining the African and European tour of the show "La légende du singe tambourinaire."

After being spotted in Spain during one of the tours of the Cirque Éloize, he was recruited to be one of the creators and acrobats of the world tour of the show Nomade, from 2002 to 2007.
