Tamar Ilana and Ventanas

Friday, July 5th

Ventanas is a six-piece Toronto-based world music ensemble fronted by powerhouse vocalist and dancer Tamar Ilana (Jewish-Indigenous) and featuring the city’s finest world musicians. Drawing inspiration from such legendary artists as the Silk Road Ensemble, Paco de Lucía, and Yasmin Levy, they reimagine Mediterranean melodies and flamenco grooves, and mix contemporary interpretations of ancient ballads with original compositions.

Jessica Deutsch – violin, vocals
Benjamin Barrile – flamenco guitar
Tyler Emond – upright and electric bass
Derek Gray – drumset, percussion

“Tamar has a power in her performance that is completely joyful and transportive. I’m a huge admirer!”

“Tamar’s generosity of spirit and mastery of her performance create[s] a wave of infectious, unstoppable momentum on stage.”
– Jim Creeggan, Barenaked Ladies

“This band could go head to head with any punk rock band”
– Errol Nazareth, CBC Big City Small World

“Anywhere in the world, this act would entertain”
– HuffPost, LA

The CKUA Events Calendar is a listing of music, arts, and culture happenings for the whole province. It is a terrific resource that CKUA offers to the community, to share details about concerts, gallery openings, plays, and films.

Please note that due to the amount of listings, we publish events that focus on music, arts, or culture. While we'd love to publish all submitted items, the sheer number of events means that we sometimes have to decline submissions.

Need to change or update your submitted event?

Email details to feedback@ckua.com and the CKUA team of calendar volunteers will do the rest.
