Depuis mon arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 Ottawa en 1978, j'ai port\u00e9 de nombreux chapeaux : v\u00e9rificatrice op\u00e9rationnelle, restauratrice, auteure de chansons, compositrice et interpr\u00e8te. D\u2019une certaine fa\u00e7on, tout cela a culmin\u00e9 au moment o\u00f9 j\u2019ai cr\u00e9\u00e9 un groupe de divertissement appel\u00e9 Choonga Changa en 1989.<\/p>

Ma grand-m\u00e8re \u00e9tait inspir\u00e9e par la culture et les arts de son Argentine natale. Passionn\u00e9e de langue, de musique, d\u2019op\u00e9ra et de piano, elle m\u2019a inculqu\u00e9 son amour du th\u00e9\u00e2tre, des arts visuels et des v\u00eatements. Elle m\u2019a emmen\u00e9 dans des mus\u00e9es et m\u2019a dit comment et pourquoi toute la culture est si importante et vitale dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et qu\u2019elle doit \u00eatre valoris\u00e9e.<\/p>

Mari\u00e9e \u00e0 un partenaire d\u2019un soutien extraordinaire et m\u00e8re de deux jeunes enfants, j\u2019ai chang\u00e9 de carri\u00e8re \u00e0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 1980. Je suis pass\u00e9e d\u2019un poste de v\u00e9rificatrice op\u00e9rationnelle au gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral et, \u00e0 l\u2019occasion, je jouais pour un public adulte avec divers musiciens, \u00e0 animatrice populaire dans les festivals locaux pour enfants. J\u2019ai cr\u00e9\u00e9 les chansons et les personnages que j\u2019allais interpr\u00e9ter en tant que chanteuse. J\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 avec deux musiciens, puis j\u2019en ai ajout\u00e9 d\u2019autres lorsque j\u2019ai pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 des spectacles dans des salles plus grandes en Ontario et au Qu\u00e9bec. J\u2019ai produit deux albums de musique pour enfants, dont le premier, Choonga Changa For All The Children, a r\u00e9cemment \u00e9t\u00e9 rematric\u00e9 pour l\u2019acc\u00e8s en ligne. www.choongachanga.com<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Choonga Changa a visit\u00e9 et mis en valeur des centaines d\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nements, de l\u2019Exposition nationale canadienne (CNE) de Toronto \u00e0 des f\u00eates organis\u00e9es par les gouverneurs g\u00e9n\u00e9raux et les premiers ministres et, surtout, pour un large \u00e9ventail d\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nements de bienfaisance.<\/p>

Un de faits saillants de Choonga Changa a \u00e9t\u00e9 une performance en octobre 1991 dans le cadre de la Semaine de l\u2019enfant au Mus\u00e9e canadien de la nature, avec une chanson que j\u2019ai \u00e9crite, intitul\u00e9e For All The Children. La chanson a \u00e9t\u00e9 traduite en dix langues et interpr\u00e9t\u00e9e par dix enfants repr\u00e9sentant chacune de leurs cultures et nations respectives aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s du drapeau de leur pays. La chanson a \u00e9galement fait partie d\u2019un documentaire de TVO sur les festivals pour enfants du monde entier.<\/p>

J\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 me sp\u00e9cialiser dans la cr\u00e9ation de productions historiques et musicales uniques, en mettant l\u2019accent sur les exp\u00e9riences multiculturelles et \u00e9ducatives, et je me suis davantage engag\u00e9e en tant que planificatrice d\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nements, entrepreneure, coordonnatrice et interpr\u00e8te. Cette nouvelle phase a commenc\u00e9 avec le spectacle acclam\u00e9 par la critique What is This Thing Called Jazz?, qui tenait le r\u00f4le principal lors de la premi\u00e8re Journ\u00e9e de la famille du Festival international de jazz d\u2019Ottawa en 1994, avec des apparitions r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9es en 1995 et 1997.<\/p>

En 2000, j\u2019ai fait la transition entre l\u2019histoire du spectacle \u00ab\u00a0History of Jazz\u00a0\u00bb et une nouvelle production intitul\u00e9e \u00ab\u00a0Satin Dolls\u00a0\u00bb, qui retrace la vie et l\u2019\u00e9poque de certaines des plus grandes femmes du jazz am\u00e9ricain. En collaboration avec un groupe de musiciens et d\u2019autres interpr\u00e8tes exceptionnels, nous avons \u00e9largi le spectacle \u00ab\u00a0Satin Dolls\u00a0\u00bb pour cr\u00e9er The Gift of Jazz : From Africa to New Orleans to the True North Strong and Free, une c\u00e9l\u00e9bration de l\u2019impact profond de l\u2019histoire et de la culture des Noirs sur la musique.<\/p>

Cette vaste exp\u00e9rience de cr\u00e9ation et de repr\u00e9sentation de spectacles sur le Canada et le jazz m\u2019a donn\u00e9 des id\u00e9es sur la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019un nouveau spectacle ambitieux sur l\u2019histoire de la musique au Canada comme l\u2019une des initiatives du nouveau mill\u00e9naire du Canada.<\/p>

En 2000, j\u2019ai particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019Odyssey Showcase, un collectif \u00e0 but non lucratif. Il est devenu un organisme de bienfaisance enregistr\u00e9 en 2004 dans le but de r\u00e9unir des partenaires de financement et de performance ainsi que des artistes de diverses communaut\u00e9s et de divers milieux afin d\u2019\u00e9duquer les \u00e9tudiants et le grand public au sujet de l\u2019histoire et de la musique canadiennes.
J\u2019\u00e9tais la chanteuse principale lorsque Odyssey Showcase a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 pour la premi\u00e8re fois Canada Roars : A Musical Taste of our Canadian Heritage\/Notre patrimoine canadien, une odyss\u00e9e musicale en 2000, et j\u2019ai continu\u00e9 \u00e0 donner des concerts \u00e0 chaque pr\u00e9sentation, devenant ainsi le plus ancien spectacle bilingue du Canada.<\/p>

Je me sens tr\u00e8s privil\u00e9gi\u00e9e d'\u00eatre associ\u00e9e \u00e0 Odyssey Showcase et \u00e0 tous ceux qui participent \u00e0 ses pr\u00e9sentations. Ensemble, nous avons permis aux auditoires d\u2019en apprendre davantage sur les personnalit\u00e9s, les lieux et les r\u00e9alisations diversifi\u00e9s et exceptionnels du Canada et de les reconna\u00eetre, et nous avons am\u00e9lior\u00e9 les connaissances et la compr\u00e9hension de notre histoire et de nos valeurs communes, et nous avons permis aux Canadiens de participer \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s et \u00e0 des c\u00e9l\u00e9brations comm\u00e9moratives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
