In Canada: Vancouver Breakdancer Wins Gold at Paris Olympics, The Tragically Hip Headed for TIFF


A Canadian breakdancer won at the Paris Olympics and more Canada music news also involving The Tragically Hip, Partynextdoor and Drake.

Unlike other music-based events like rhythmic gymnastics or synchronized swimming, the breakers didn’t know which songs they would be dancing to, which meant there was a heavy dose of improv. The DJ played plenty of hip-hop classics, from A Tribe Called Quest ‘s “Scenario” to Method Man ‘s “Judgement Day” to “Live at the Barbeque” by New York/Toronto group Main Source. The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal is directed and produced by late frontman Gord Downie ‘s older brother Mike and features never-before-seen footage of the band.
