About the Global Music Series and CD

The Global Music Series began as a collaboration between the Association for New Canadians (ANC), The Rooms, and MusicNL, with funding support by Canadian Heritage’s Community Support, Anti-Racism, and Multicultural Initiatives program.

In 2023, Laughing Heart Music joined the team and the first Western Newfoundland Global Music concert was hosted. A year later, Laughing Heart Music and ANC were excited to begin recording a Global Music Album which aims to capture the spirit of the Global Music concert series.

Featuring immigrant artists who have found home in Newfoundland and Labrador, this album is a celebration of the many sounds that weave together to make up the diverse musical tapestry of the province.

Dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jamie Baker (1974-2024). As a Senior Manager of Programs at ANC, Dr. Baker was instrumental in the creation of the Global Music project.

Produced and mixed by Louis McDonald. Mastered by Glenn Thomas.
