THE CROWD PLEASERS
Lets get this party started. At 16, Richie Hawtin (a.k.a. Plastikman, middle) collided with DJ culture. Now he spins everything from techno to acid house and invites the worlds club kids to the dance. Fiddler Natalie MacMaster (left) is great at getting jiggy, with her lively mix of Celtic, Cape Breton and, lately, bluegrass styles. We love it when she takes a bow. And we adore Walter Ostanek (right). Canadas Polka King is still performing after 47 years, 10 Grammy nominations and three wins. Heel and toe and away we go.
