8:05 - 8:30 PM: Francis Baptiste

Francis Baptiste, the Syilx singer-songwriter whose voice has become a vessel for Indigenous truth and lived testimony, presents his latest album “Lived Experience in East Vancouver,” a searing portrait of survival in East Vancouver.

This grounding has been a hallmark of Baptiste’s artistry. His debut album ‘Sneqsilx (Family)’ introduced listeners to songs sung partly in Nsyilxcən, his endangered Indigenous language. His follow-up, ‘Senklip, the Trickster’, extended those commitments to oral tradition, fatherhood, and intergenerational trauma. By the time of “Lived Experience in East Vancouver,” Baptiste’s voice carries the authority of an artist who has walked through these stories and returned with the music to tell them.
