BCUC (9:30 p.m., TD–Radio-Canada Stage, free). “Direct from the townships of Soweto,” Rousseau highly recommends BCUC, aka Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness. The group draws inspiration from Indigenous music, ritual songs, shebeen (illicit bar) songs and church songs, rap, rock and electronic music. The result is rousing. “It’s fresh,” Rousseau said, “traditional music brought forth in a completely new way.”
