Just the 2 of Us is a celebration of their favourite music spanning six decades and a half a dozen genres; from Édith Piaf and Shirley Bassey; to Aretha Franklin and Etta James; from Elton John to Whitney Houston; from iconic Broadway hits to pure Canadiana and beyond.

Humour, engaging banter from the nostalgic playful to the edgy risqué is always on the menu with these two singers. What awaits…sincere storytelling, heart-stopping ballads, unforgettable musical prowess, backed by a fabulous ensemble of multi-instrumentalists, and framed by a friendship that defies all expectations. Together, Joëlle & Buwa aim to showcase the enduring power of music to transcend borders and generations.
