Master Drummer Muhtadi, accompanied by his twenty-piece drum ensemble kicked off the evening’s festivities, which also feature an accapella performance by Drew Gonsalves of the kaiso band Kobo Town, and a special performance by the incomparable jazz trumpeter Brownman & his Electryc Trio. The official Heart Beat launch took place at Trane Studio on 964 Bathurst, where guests were treated to an advance taste of the series’ episodes that will air November 27 on BRAVO!
