I first heard Toronto’s Zaki Ibrahim perform this song on Q’s Canada Day broadcast yesterday from Canada House with Jian Ghomeshi in Trafalgar Square, London. I loved her voice and had to look her up!

Born in Vancouver to a South African father and Scottish/English/Welsh mother (very much a Canadian story right there), Zaki has a very interesting urban sound with African influences.

The YouTube clip above is from a recent performance at HMV in Toronto to promote her newly released album, Eclectica (Episodes in Purple). There are more of Zaki’s songs available on YouTube from that set, plus video previews.

Check her out!
