Over the past 15 years, Toronto has been credited with a musical “renaissance period” in terms of its sonic achievement, the “New Toronto Sound”, and has been at the forefront of the global urban music industry. In the 2010s the moniker the “New Toronto Sound” began to widely circulate and name an emerging innovative urban sound. This New Toronto Sound was exciting precisely because globally it is still unimaginable/ unintelligible to white capital’s global civil society that Black people are in Canada and that Black people have something to say about their experiences in Canada. As such, this talk explores the New Toronto Sound for what it sonically reveals about theorizing Black Toronto, Black Canada, and Blackness beyond discrete national boundaries.

Trent University respectfully acknowledges it is located on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishnaabeg. We offer our gratitude to First Peoples for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings.
