As a Spanish teacher providing Spanish lessons in Toronto, I always want to find more opportunities for my students and people interested in our vast culture, to find ways to get to know more about us. I wish to become a connection with the great people who are out there representing us, raising our flags and delivering great art. So people interested in Spanish culture here in Canada, will be able to find them.
Big part of our Hispanic culture and heritage is Music. We own a giant range of different musical styles that cover a large territory from Mexico to Argentina and Spain.
No matter what language we speak, music always unites us. We are lucky to live in Toronto, a city that shines because of its multiculturalism. I want to take this opportunity to introduce the amazing Latin musicians that we have in this city. Here we have JJ Galenos Music: great voice, great music andgreat lyrics to learn and enjoy Spanish and culture.

Represented by Dr. José Javier Blanco Mendez as its founder and musical director with an extensive and very distinguished musical career in both Venezuela and Canada. He has been awarded on multiple occasions for his talents all while simultaneously managing a career as a doctor.
As this great musical group describes themselves:
“We are a non-profit Venezuelan organization dedicated to the promotion, performance and diffusion of Latin American music in all of its diversity. Our mission as an organization is to bring the art of music to all areas of society and to help bring people together from all stages in life. A journey that originally started in Venezuela a few years back turned into a dream”. Our vision for the future is to showcase our culture through the art of music not only to the Hispanic community but also to the Anglo-Saxon community and other cultures throughout Canada and the world.
