Next OXALA Benefit Livestream for Abrigo is coming on Sun. Oct. 25th

Watch on Zoom or Heyoxala on Instagram

OXALA, the stage moniker of breakout performer Dianne Oliveira, will be hosting “And Now in Portuguese” a bilingual livestream concert and benefit show celebrating her Portuguese roots on Sunday, October 25, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. on her HeyOXALA Instagram account and Zoom (meeting ID:889 4971 1874).

Along with her guitarist Alan Kulka, the performance will draw on various musical styles including well known Portuguese and English Bossa Nova, Jazz, Pop and Fado songs. During the show OXALA will be performing, for the first time live, her new bilingual original “As Vozes de Nao” or “The Noise of No”.

As with the rising star’s first livestream benefit event in support of Abrigo last month, in lieu of purchasing a ticket, viewers will be encouraged to financially support the Abrigo Centre. Donations can be made safely and securely at Abrigo’s website www.abrigo.ca.

Now in its 30th year of operation, the Abrigo Centre, located in west-end Toronto, is a social service agency that assists over 6,500 clients each year with a primary focus on women who face domestic violence and abuse.

“From their Gender-based Violence program, to their work with seniors, youth and newcomers, Abrigo does an outstanding job helping those in need in the Portuguese community and for local area residents,” says OXALA. “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve been open, available virtually, and a cornerstone of service assisting individuals and families during this difficult time.”
