Saturday Brunch Featuring Mistah Shak

Hands up! Don’t let them drop! Keep them up! Unforgettable instructions from his debut performance of ‘Rogue’ in 2010 at Skinner Park, with what Mistah Shak describes as a moment inside the ‘enigmatic energy’ of that ‘big yard’ where the true gatekeepers of kaiso decide who the real champions are. Sharing on his cross-generational connections, earlier hesitations to enter the ring, and his infusion of the craft with messages that challenge power and structure, Shak approaches his expression seriously from creation all the way to presentation. Discussing mentorship, collaboration and a hope towards continued expansion for his fusion work of kasioca, Mistah Shak muses on the duty of the artist to approach the music with sobriety and intention.
