Presented by Calgary Folk Music Festival Renaissance Juno and Gemini Award-winning soulful R&B singer/songwriter Jully Black has re-invented herself many times over her storied, multi-faceted life. Childhood church choir singing and college law enforcement training preceded a 1998 music publishing deal at age 20. As she penned songs for other artists, including Kardinal Offishall, Nas, Destiny’s Child and Choclair, she developed her own powerhouse, multi-octave vocal style. After her first Juno-nominated hit song  Rally'n  didn’t result in record label courting, she returned to work as a bank teller. Black's songwriting chops weren't ignored, though, with her songs landing on films, followed by her firecracker record, 2007’s Revival, which strongly impacted Canadian urban music – especially her take on Etta James’s  Seven Day Fool.” From careers in fitness – punctuated by being an Amazing Race contestant – a passion for philanthropy plus stage and screen acting (Da Kink In My Hair, Caroline and more) plus TV and radio hosting, Black has shaped national conversations about race, gender and social barriers, exemplified by changing the Canadian anthem lyrics live at a 2023 NBA All-Stars game to  home on native land,” sparking a discussion about colonialism. In '22 we got Black’s critically-acclaimed, autobiographical album: Three Rocks and a Slingshot, which featured collaborations with key songwriters and producers. This long-awaited ode to David and Goliath celebrates resilience, love and hope. Melafrique is an Edmonton-based Afro-fusion band featuring members from Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Jamaica and Canada that blend jazz, R&B, reggae, and neo-soul with African musical styles that celebrates the African and Caribbean identities.

I was here for a short visit. It was a nice site to see, and the area is very walkable. For a small fee, you can go up the tower to enjoy the magnificient views of Calgary. But even if you don&rsquo;t go up, the surrounding area is filled with shops and reataurants you can enjoy.

The Folk Park Historical Village is a place with a very elegant environment. This folk park is a replica of Calgary&#39;s history. The historical village has a strong charm and design. Here you can experience the strong foreign-style architecture and food.

This is the venue for some of the events of the 15th Winter Olympic Games in 1988, and it is still a good ice and snow sanctuary. It retained the national flag of the countries participating in the conference at that time, so the flag of the former Soviet Union can still be seen flying in the wind.

it&#39;s a nice place to visit not only for kids but for adults who love animals as well. i went here alone, and it was nice to have a walk and see the animals at the same time. sadly,the pandas are gone, but i got to see them before they&#39;re gone.
