Wavelength Music Festival + Conference 2026 heads down the Dundas West strip for our last show of the festival. With its intimate setting and eclectic decor in Toronto’s hippest neighborhood, The Garrison is a celebration of independent live music. We’re thrilled to wrap up the fest with this global-meets-hip-hop celebration in partnership with our friends at Uma Nota, producers of Mixto Fest and the Geary Art Crawl.
Dumai Dunai is here to transform you with the blasting horns of Balkan wedding brass bands, and the joys and sorrows of Ukrainian village polyphony. The seven-piece group employs multi-lingual lyrics and punk rock energy, combined with the deep grooves of dub, to bring you raw ecstasy.
Born from the thriving Toronto jazz fusion scene, the Orbital Ensemble brings an immersive fusion of psychedelic grooves and jazz melodies influenced by MPB (Música Popular Brasileira.) Led by Felipe Sena, the group features drums, Brazilian percussion, bass, guitar, saxophone, flute, acoustic guitar, keys, and vibraphone.
Internet luminary Paul Chin does it for the culture. From professional illustrator, to community organiser, to recording artist and DJ, Chin has cemented himself as one of your favourite artist’s favourite artists, distilling the human experience one track at a time.
Syrian Palestinian MC Multi-instrumentalist hip-hop funk Afrobeat artist Tarek Funk (AKA Mother Tareka) is a manifestation of different cultures and genres of liberation music. He blends Arabesque melodic elements with Afrobeat polyrhythms, heavy basslines, funky horn lines and smooth jazzy guitar licks to become all parts musical enigma.
