Psyched to be playing Bear Creek Music & Art Festival next month! By the sound of it, theyre pretty psyched too: Join us for some awsome Afro-funk on BC Saturday afternoon! Following their sets, artists from Benyoro and Kreative Pandemonium are coming together onstage for the Mande Superjam! Our friend Luke Quaranta, who assembled the jam, tells us: This is the debut performance of the Mandé Superjam, an all-star group of African and American musicians including members of Benyoro, Kreative Pandemonium, Toubab Krewe, and special guests Balla Kouyaté and Raja Kassis. The music of West Africa is the bedrock of many American styles of music, and listeners often hear echoes of blues, jazz, and Appalachian music in the circular melodies and dense rhythms of the region. This supergroup of African artists and American collaborators will be performing updated interpretations of the centuries-old repertoire of West African jelis (traditional musicians). World-class West African artists performing in the ensemble include Yacouba Sissoko, Bébé Camara, Balla Kouyaté, and Fred Doumbé. American musicians performing include Justin Perkins, Drew Heller, and Luke Quaranta of Toubab Krewe, Weedie Braimah of Kreative Pandemonium and the Nth Power, Sam Dickey of Benyoro, and Raja Kassis. This will be a tour-de-force of hypnotic grooves and majestic melodies…not to be missed! bearcreekmusicfestival/daily-lineup/
