Samba Elégua
Samba Elégua is a Toronto-based percussion group inspired by the samba school bateria tradition of Rio de Janeiro. A non-profit, volunteer-run musical community, Samba Elégua has been delivering explosive, layered rhythms for almost a decade. The sound and spectacle of over a dozen synchronized samba drummers is guaranteed to compel audiences of all ages and musical tastes to get up and dance!

Evalyn Parry
"… equally funny and dangerous … this is a songwriter who takes us into uncharted waters." CBC Radio An award-winning songwriter, poet and ironic social commentator, Evalyn Parry shoots from the hip and aims for the heart while accompanying herself on guitar, water bottle, shruti box and loop pedals. Exploring everything from "feminine protection" and bottled water to the quest for the Northwest Passage, Parry's outspoken creations hold out a powerful vision of social and personal change that spans genres, genders and generations.

Travelling to Peterborough are team members Switch (18), BLuE (16), and Biting Midge (12), along with coach ArRay-of-Words, and emerging poet Colleen Leafloor.

BAM! The Toronto Youth Slam
BAM! The Toronto Youth Slam was created to give young poets of ages 12 to 19 a forum for their writing. BAM! is run by a committee of spoken word artists: Yehuda "Pan" Fisher, Spencer Butt, Henrick "Shoolie" Sales and Sean "Skummilk" Spencer. Several rising stars of the 2011-12 season will grace the stage in Peterborough.

Esther Vincent (host)
After many years running a book distribution company and a reading series, Esther Vincent abandoned words in favour of images. She stopped writing and went back to her camera. She still loves to hear writers read and poets speak, however, and is waiting for the day the muses call to her again.
