February 28 @ 9:00 pm – March 1 @ 2:00 am
Tonight, we celebrate 25 years of bringing music and art to the neighborhood and what better band to take the reins than Jujuba, who’ve been gracing our stage for over 20 years! Jujuba delivers a funky, danceable style of Nigerian Afrobeat and Juju music. The strength of the 10-piece revolves around its energetic cohesion between percussion, rhythm and horn sections. The band features Nojeem Lasisi from Igbo Ora, Oyo State, in Nigeria. He ranks among the world’s elite talking drum players. Nojeem was given his first drum at age four by his father, also a master drummer, who handed down to Nojeem its powerful language. As a member of Nigerian superstar King Sunny Ade’s group, the African Beats, Nojeem toured the world and appears on numerous recordings with King Sunny, including “Seven Degrees North” and “Odu”. Come dance! PLEASE NOTE THE EARLIER DOOR TIME.
