I Heart Market Street, Old Town Toronto’s cool new urban park, welcomes Tak Arikushi to our street stage, located on the east side of Market Street between Front Street and The Esplanade.
Tak Arikushi plays Gypsy-jazz music with a Japanese twist: he fuses the red-hot swing rhythms of Django Reinhardt and rhapsodic Japanese melodies both traditional and contemporary. His accolades include sharing the stage with Gypsy-jazz giant Stephane Wrembel, featuring on the soundtrack of top-selling video game Cuphead: Delicious Last Course, having his single Sakura Swing featured on CBC radio numerous times and being the band of choice for Rush bassist Geddy Lee’s mother’s birthday party.
