Let’s go global! Union Summer’s Global Music Nights, in collaboration with Small World Music, bring the world to the waterfront with a vibrant roster of local, national, and international artists.

For more than two decades, Small World Music has championed cultural diversity across the GTA, and that spirit comes alive on our stage. Experience an unforgettable mix of sounds, rhythms, and traditions as the patio transforms into a celebration of global talent, connection, and discovery.

The Rhythm Section stands for Ghanaian Highlife in its purest form. Long before modern instruments like bass guitars, lead guitars, and drum kits existed, music in Ghana was created from what was available—locally made instruments, community, and rhythm passed down through generations. Highlife emerged from sound and feeling first, not equipment.

Musically, the band blends Highlife with Afro-fusion, soul, R&B, jazz, and modern live arrangements. Every sound is built around feel, timing, and connection—nothing is rushed, nothing is forced. The focus is always on serving the music and allowing rhythm to lead.

This program is in partnership with RudyRay.
