Garden City Grooves Night 2: Alex Cuba Trio and Tk The Artist

Garden Grooves Festival 2026 – Night Two expands the festival’s sonic map on Friday, March 20th, bringing global rhythms, virtuosity, and soul-driven performances into full bloom. True to Garden Grooves’ spirit, the night blurs borders and genres — celebrating artists whose music travels effortlessly between cultures, traditions, and modern expression.

At the heart of the evening is the Alex Cuba Trio, led by the Grammy and multi–Latin Grammy Award-winning Cuban-Canadian artist. Known for seamlessly blending Afro-Cuban rhythms with jazz, soul, pop, and rock, Alex Cuba delivers guitar-driven songs rich with melody and emotion. In an intimate trio format, his acclaimed songwriting and musical chemistry shine, offering a vibrant, groove-forward set that reflects a career spanning international stages and collaborations with artists like Nelly Furtado and Jason Mraz.

Sharing the stage is TK (The Artist), a Nigerian-born Afrosoul and jazz-fusion powerhouse who now calls Victoria home. Blending Neo-Soul, Gospel, R&B, Jazz, and Afrobeat — often while singing and playing drums simultaneously — TK brings infectious energy and rhythmic depth.
