September 23rd with Nomadic Massive


Nomadic Massive kicked off the WAC year with an incredibly profound and meaningful story sharing. It’s about the band’s life. It’s about music. It’s about social justice. Each band member has something to tell, and to show how beautiful life can be when they find a direction and hope. Many of them were landed immigrants from countries such as Jamaica and Nigeria. One of them thinks that he might be the most unemployable person in Canada for his attitude problem. But they come together for the sake of music and use music to express themselves. And eventually you realize how much solidarity matters! (Meduza’s words).

Below are some photos from the event:

Here are comments from Jack- a committee member from Russia:

"Hello everyone! As you all know a great event took place on previous friday! Nomadic Massive has visited our university. You may ask a question what is it? Well, let's explain for those who did not have a chance to come. So it is a concert with participation of different Hip-Hop singers who gather together and perform songs in an improvisation format. There was also an opportunity for everybody to talk to them personally and ask any questions. How? There was a workshop organized by The World Affairs Coloqium group(and the concert was also organized by this organization)anyway, we had a great conversation with these interesting, unusual and creative singers(performers, artists). One of the most important aspects of the nomadic Massive is that singers who are involved in this project propagandize justice and explain that their Hip-Hop helps people. They travel around Canada and abroad and inspire youths and even kids for peaceful and friendly life.!!!"

  1. Thanks for the post Linh and Jack! Nomadic Massive rocked the campus. What's more, they absolutely loved Trent University and Champlain College. They were deeply impressed by the beauty and peace of the campus; they were touched and impressed by the 250 of us who danced and sang with them for 2 hours; they were proud to have the opportunity to share their tales of global citizenship with the deeply engaged participants of the World Affairs Colloquium.
