The pair perform under the name “Just the 2 of Us”, and are known for their unique combination of vocal stylings. They will be performing a medley of pop and soul hits from the 1960s to the present, ranging from Edith Piaf to Etta James to Elton John, as well as hits from Broadway musicals and some Canadian classics.
Rabu and Buwa will be accompanied by a backing band of multi-instrumentalists providing musical variety throughout the evening. The duo will also share their differing perspectives and stories from their careers. Advertising describes their approach as:
“Though nostalgia abounds, Joëlle & Buwa interpret each song through the lens of their diverse experiences, breathing fresh life and vitality into timeless classic melodies and immortal songs.”
Common promotional methods for concerts like this includes poster printing and radio advertising, aiming to reach a wide array of local music lovers. The Just the 2 of Us touring show premiered in the fall of 2024, joining Rabu’s Piaf tribute show and other productions, and has been throughout Canada.
Just the 2 of Us will perform at the Anvil Centre in New Westminster on the evening of April 11.
