   About Ainiké
AINIKE is a Toronto-based percussion & instrument ensemble rooted in the polyrhythmic, highly energetic music of the Malinke people of Guinea, West Africa. Meaning “thank you” in the Malinke language, AINIKE performs a repertoire of traditional rhythms infused with an original sound created through the diversity of its members’ musical backgrounds, the addition of non-traditional instruments and arrangements, and the influence of a modern and urban aesthetic – one which incorporates our varied influences, all the while maintaining respect for the tradition of Malinke music. AINIKE is led by Karen Hack, band leader and djembe player.

AINIKE brings not only intensity, fluid playing style, and originality to their music, but as well, and perhaps most importantly, an unbridled love of playing. Their captivating performance energy continues to inspire audiences throughout southern Ontario and their following deepens with each show.

I Can Hardly Wait


Every morning, every night, sometimes in the middle of the day...
Escaping into dark, quiet corners to relieve myself
Sometimes calmly, sometimes furiously... shamelessly
Three times again today, is no surprise
Laughing every time... seeing what I'd do to satisfy
I want to take you up on all your offers... let you try
Fulfill all the scintillating needs inside
Heavenly wings and spitfire tongues taste like lullabies!


Swooning Mercilessly,


Empress Ultra Violet

Bitty clouds and tiny rainbows hiding behind every tree
So much love inside, drunk and ready to do anything!
I know everything you’re doing and I agree
Slithering skin… all over each other
Smooth, sweet, out of control…
Bring me in, take me, make me do it, set me free!

Ice Cream Scoops of Wondering Tongue,

Empress Ultra Violet

Flurries settle softly in the pine
Quietly drenched in the drizzle of glassy, melty snow
A ginger bread house, everything to be eaten
Gum drops, chewies, taffy licks
Nestling by the fire, every kiss crackle pops
Fingers over sugar dots… ginger beer fountains blow
Strawberry cotton candy patch…
Dive in, eat your way through
Rubbbing it for heat, the angels sing!
Toasty, creamy love everywhere

Hot Toddy Holidays,

Empress Ultra Violet
