		Lorraine Segato, the producer of the event, says this idea came about because Layton and the new NDP are at a point where they really understand the importance of culture in terms of dialogue in social justice.
		While Segato wants to stress that not all of the performers at this event are hardcore NDPs she said they do believe in the message that Layton is saying which is that culture is a very important aspect in any kind of change, and the voices of that culture need to be heard.
		Segato affirms that the night is not a political rally or fundraiser.

		On their first LP, this fine Toronto septet — a soulful, low-tech match for labelmates M+M — displays a strong rhythmic consciousness (timbales and congas rather than synth thwack).
		Boasting a phenomenal singer (Lorraine Segato) and produced on the first LP by M+M/Eno collaborator Daniel Lanois, the Club gets positively inspirational on the joyous "Rise Up," while also addressing specific topics like nuclear war, sexism and hunger with intelligent lyrics and inventive, colorful music.
		At the Feet of the Moon, produced by ex-Materialist Michael Beinhorn, bounces to a funkier beat, with muscular drumming, strong bass and substantial electronic intrusion.

		If you live in Canada, you will undoubtedly remember that Segato originally released the song with her band the Parachute Club back in the early 80s.
		That infectiously positive single, produced by Daniel Lanois, went on to win several awards and became an anthem for many a different group.
		Re-written by Vocalist/Director/Woman-about-town Lorraine Segato, with the help of Richard Underhill and Lynne Fernie, the song is now a bona-fide anthem for Toronto city councilor and NDP federal candidate Jack Layton.
