“Ruth Mathiang is one of the rising stars of African music in Toronto. She comes from a musical family, where both her parents were musicians in their youth. Starting with musical weekends where her family would gather around and sing songs, she followed her parents’ footsteps by joining musical clubs and composing and singing her own songs in high school. In Kenya, she performed with local musicians, in styles ranging from traditional music to hip hop. Her CDs were well received and led to performances in many local and international events in Canada and the States, including events such as “The Lost Boys and Lost Girls Conference” held in Phoenix, Arizona, and the Hot and Spicy musical festival in Toronto.
Ruth’s songs represent her hopes and dreams for the world, and especially her home country.”

Award winning South Sudanese musician Lam Tungwar is best known to music fans simply as Lam. Born in 1983, Lam fled the civil war as a child with his parents into neighboring Ethiopia. But political turmoil there again forced him to move on, this time joining the Sudan People’s Liberation Army as a child soldier. It was as a young warrior that Lam found his voice, entertaining older soldiers with songs, a talent that would eventually bring him the attention and patronage of the late Dr. John Garang, the SPLA commander at the time. After the war, Lam put down his gun and concentrated on music, spreading a message of peace as a UN Special Ambassador in his homeland, while producing three albums. Lam also organized rallies in the lead up to the historic referendum on South Sudan’s independence. It seemed like sweet justice then when, just weeks after independence was officially declared that the video of his song, “Stay in Love,” won the best video award at the East Africa Music Awards ceremony in Nairobi. Lam Tungwal says he hopes the award helps open the door for young South Sudanese to begin to dominate the music scene in the region.
