ABOUT
CHIQUITA MAGIC
Chiquita Magic is Isis Giraldo’s choral-synthpop music. It will take you to a magical place. A place where you can let go a little bit, relax, move. Isis' music hopes to transcend cultural & social norms. She is interested in the cross pollination of seemingly contrasting styles (cumbia, salsa, choral music, hip-hop, jazz) with futuristic electronic textures to create new sounding and explorative songs. Her Colombian – Canadian identity has made her realize the power music has over inclusiveness, social justice, and equality. Her music is a reflection of her story and experiences; transcending status, culture, gender, language, and all other barriers that try and divide us.
She has released three “official” albums over the past three years (Isis Giraldo Poetry Project-2015, Chiquita Magic-2016, & Aventuras-2017) and has toured North & South America extensively both as Chiquita Magic & with other artists such as Brahja Waldman NYC, Emma Frank NYC / Quebec, & Louis Cole – L.A (opening 4 the Red Hot Chili Peppers). She recently toured Latin America with DIASPORA, her new duo project feat. Anais Maviel and is currently working on the final touches for the next Chiquita Magic album. She hopes to continue being surrounded by & collaborating with such an inspiring community of artists from all backgrounds.

KAI BASANTA
Vancouver based drummer/producer Kai Basanta blends ethereal soundscapes with off-kilter beats in his new solo project. Primal yet otherworldly, his distinct experimental electronic/left-field hip-hop sound can be heard on his debut EP earth.

ACCESSIBILITY INFO
*************************************************************************
Sawdust Collector takes place at The Gold Saucer Studio, a collective-run space located in The Dominion Building. Information on how to enter the show is posted on the front door of the building by 8:30 PM on every show night. You will need a cell phone to enter. If you do not have access to a phone, please contact us before the show and we will be happy to make alternative arrangements to get you in.
The front door is located at 207 W. Hastings. There is one stair between the sidewalk and the building level. The studio is located on the second floor, and is accessible by elevator. Seating is informal. There is one single-occupancy, gender-inclusive washroom on the second floor, accessible by key. We are a trans-inclusive space.
Sawdust Collector is run by us, three artists and our friends, who curate and produce the events on a volunteer basis. We own the glassware but not the room. A bit of scruff is part of the deal. If you have questions about what kind of scruff you're in for, please feel free to contact us: heysawdustcollector@gmail.com
We acknowledge that our work takes place in Vancouver on traditional and unceded Indigenous land belonging to the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish),Stó:lō and səlil̓wətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are grateful for this place.
