TAYOW | Democrazy: LIVE Performance, Toronto — Small World Music Series 2025

Presented by Small World Music Series 2025 presented by Small World Music, TAYOW performed live in Toronto, Canada at the Small World Centre, February 14, 2025. "I had the pleasure of having a Valentine’s Day show at the Small World last year. There's something special about being on that stage. It’s beautifully curated to have a combination of professionalism and intimacy! And of course, the staff and team were amazing the whole time. I can't wait to come back!" ~TAYOW Toronto audiences were treated to an extraordinary evening of love and liberation in celebration of Black Futures Month and Valentine's Day with TAYOW. TAYOW acronym for the – The Architect of Your Own World – is a Brampton-based Trinidadian-Canadian artist who seamlessly blends Afro-diasporic genres to create music that resonates with rhythm and storytelling. Her electrifying single, “Democrazy", released on January 31st, 2025 set the tone for her upcoming project. The single channels the vibrant storytelling tradition of Trinidadian calypso, offering a sharp critique of societal systems. With pulsating horns and infectious, dance-driven drum rhythms, “Democrazy” is both a celebration and a call to action. Through its thought-provoking lyrics, TAYOW asks: Democracy? Or Dem Mo Crazy? Democrazy (Spring 2025) marked the second chapter in a bold trilogy, shifting from the introspective smooth jazz of her 2022 release, Niveah, to horn-driven melodies and live percussion that blend Afrobeat, reggae, soul, calypso, and jazz. Thematically, TAYOW transitions from exploring the struggles of the inner warrior to confronting the injustices and disenfranchisement the warrior witnesses in her world. This special performance was a journey through Afro-diasporic rhythms, soulful grooves, and powerful storytelling, all brought to life by TAYOW's captivating vocals. The performance featured TAYOW's original songs, blending sounds of freedom and resistance and music was directed by the award-winning multi-instrumentalist, Waleed Abdulhamid. We invite you to carry forward TAYOW's spirit and sit with what her music stirs in you.
