Lady Yetunde album release party at Lula Lounge as part of Calefaction 2023.

Already well-known to Canadian global and Latin music lovers as her Afro-Cuban alter ego, Lady Son, Lady Yetunde has embarked on a new phase in her creative journey, taking greater artistic risks as she follows her passion for Cuban music back to its original roots in Africa.

With the release of this groundbreaking new album, Afrika Libre, Lady Yetunde presents a new and distinctive Afro-Latin fusion — a high-energy, danceable and joyous exploration of the African musical diaspora, grounded in a positive Afrocentric message.
