Common Ground concerts set for August 11 and 25
Common Ground Concerts
The sākihiwē festival is working with the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba (IRCOM) and the Winnipeg Folk Festival to celebrate the ties that bind Indigenous and newcomer families together with two concerts, entitled Common Ground. Pop luminary Prado and Joe Curtis will take the stage for the first concert on August 11, and R&B singer Sebastian Gaskin will be joined by Dana Waldie on August 25.
Attendance will be limited to 25 residents of IRCOM's Isabel site, but four songs from each performance will be filmed for an online premiere in September.
