Women in Song

Women in Song was a virtual event in March 2021 on International Women’s Day. In partnership with the Musicians’ Performance Trust Fund, producing partners, Lula Lounge and Small World Music in Toronto, and with support from Canadian Heritage, the FabCollab presented the second edition of its hit livestream festival, Women In Song. 

Women in Song was hosted by Tmar Ilana. This performance featured a dance performance by Karen and Allen Kaeja as well as five of Toronto’s top world music frontwomen: Amanda Martinez (Latin/Jazz/Pop) Jessica Hana Deutsch (Indie Pop), Maryem Tollar (Arabic/Global), Tamar Ilana (Global Flamenco) and Indigenous Fancy Shawl dancer, Cotee Harper. This performance was also supported by some of Toronto’s new emerging artists, consisting of four 20-minute live-stream sets throughout the evening, all completely free of charge.
