AHA Media gives voice to our local community and provides services for individuals and organizations to share their news and special events on a broader scale through social media. Founded in 2008 by local artists April Smith, Hendrik Beune, and Al Tkatch, AHA Media previously collaborated with Fearless City Media and has an ongoing working relationship with W2Community Media Arts and various other organizations and individuals in the DTES community. The members of AHA Media describe themselves as “definitely not mainstream media”. Based in Vancouver’s DTES, their style is described as non-invasive and unassuming.

COMMUNITY DANCE with Marian Rose for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Sunday Nov 7 2010
Community Celebration
COMMUNITY DANCE with Marian Rose
Sunday November 7, 7pm-9pm
Ukrainian Hall, 805 E. Pender
The community dance is so popular and so much fun that it has become a festival tradition. This year we share the evening with Marian Rose, accordion player and dance caller, fiddler Jennie Bice and Mary Boulanger on piano. If you’ve never danced a step in your life, now is your chance to get together in musical celebration across traditions and generations. Follow the dance caller’s directions and you’ll be an expert in minutes! Marian Rose created the Community Dance Project to rejuvenate community dancing, together with the vibrant musical traditions that go along with it (www.marianrose.com). Dances may include contra, square or ethnic folk, and music will find it’s way from all over including the folk music of the Canadian prairies. Grab your friends, neighbours, the whole family, and head on down to this toe-tappin’ heartwarming ending for this year’s DTES Heart of the City Festival. Pay as you can
AHA MEDIA is very proud to help provide social media coverage of the 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver from Pre festival events starting Wed Oct 20, 2010 through to the Main Festival during Wed Oct 27 – Sun Nov 7, 2010

Association of United Ukrainian Canadians Community Concert & Supper for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Sunday Nov 7 2010
Community Celebration
ASSOCIATION OF UNITED UKRAINIAN CANADIANS COMMUNITY CONCERT & SUPPER
Sunday November 7, 3pm
Ukrainian Hall, 805 E. Pender
The AUUC is pleased to present their season opening concert for the closing afternoon of the Festival. Featuring all of their performing arts groups, the Barvinok Choir, the Vancouver Folk Orchestra and the Dovbush Dancers, the concert offers a welcoming atmosphere of Ukrainian traditions. Enjoy this afternoon of lively music, invigorating dance, colourful costumes, and an array of special guests including: a welcome song with Squamish elder Sam George; the ferocious and compelling flamenco music and dance of Kelty McKerracher and Celina Tinio, baile (dance), Juan de Marias, toque (guitar), and Maria Avila, cante (song); and the internationally renowned recording artists, gospel trio The Sojourners (Khari McClelland, Marcus Mosely and Will Sanders). The Festival is thrilled to welcome back Marcus along with his fellow songmates, accompanied by guitarist Paul Pigat. While it wouldn’t exactly be right to call The Sojourners a new act—given that each member of the group has been in the music business for around fifty years—the sound, energy and commitment they conjure any time they get together would be the envy of singers half their ages. Echoes of doo wop, R&B, country and blues weave together with gospel to create a unique sound that has all but vanished from today’s world, www.thesojourners.ca. “These guys are as authentic as the well-worn pews and well-used Bibles stationed in any Church welcoming the sounds of Gospel songs. Rich and textured voices that harmonize along a rolling sea of sound waves; The Sojourners take you on a gentle walk down the back alleys and pathways of the soul and have you cathartically ending up on the other side.” – AnEVibe.com
Stay after the concert for the hall’s delicious traditional Ukrainian Supper. Concert and supper $15. Be sure to book your tickets in advance for this very popular event. For tickets call 604-879-2089.
