A Steel Band - in St. James Town

St. James Town is a small area within Toronto, consisting of 19 High Rise apartment buildings, housing between 20 and 25 thousand people of varying ethnic backgrounds. It is one of the most densely occupied areas within North America. The population is a mix of immigrants from Asia and Africa.
