Ahmed Moneka Arabic Jazz Night

In collaboration with Heliopolis Center for the Arts and Calgary Arab Arts & Culture Society, we are thrilled to host the launch celebration of Arab Heritage Month with international artist Ahmed Moneka.

Juno-nominated artist Ahmed Moneka brings a vibrant musical journey from Baghdad to Toronto, blending his Afro-Sufi-Iraqi heritage with African grooves, Arabic folk melodies, and contemporary influences of funk, soul, and jazz.

Joined by his global ensemble, Moneka creates a joyful, transcendent sound that celebrates life, love, and the deep longing for home. His Juno-nominated album Kanzafula—the first Canadian-Iraqi record to receive the nomination—highlights his unique fusion of cultures and musical traditions.
