11 years ago when I first came to Canada, my first show here was at Yinka Farinde’s CD release party. Now we’ve all grown up and Yinka’s company, Abedorc Productions is 10 years old. In celebration Yinka and his team of talents has put together the Abedorc Productions Arts & Entertainment Awards & 10 yr Anniversary. This is an award of excellence in recognition of our African musical artists, movie actors and actresses, promoters, comedians, marketers, journalists, news media, event planners, producers, dancers and more who have upheld the entertainment industry in their own way. It’s going to be a memorable multi-day event in Toronto.
