US$0.00

Dora Award-winning artist Kunlé (Adekunle Olorundare) is a Toronto-based singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist whose work draws from the deep well of West African storytelling.

Born into a musical family in Nigeria, his music features a powerful interplay between rich vocals, traditional talking drums, and contemporary fingerstyle guitar. Moving seamlessly between Yoruba, Pidgin, and English, Kunlé balances cultural depth with a soulful, contemporary sensibility, bridging acoustic traditions and Yoruba proverbs to connect with a global audience.

His highly-anticipated new album ‘Kunlé – The Journey’ was released in June 2026. Kunlé’s 2024 debut at Toronto’s Koerner Hall, performing alongside South African icon Thandiswa Mazwai marked an important artistic moment. His 2026 season features landmark appearances at the prestigious Mariposa Folk Festival, Theatre Collingwood's Porchside Festival, and the South Side Shuffle Blues and Jazz Festival.
