About this Event
Global Artists Collective presents a live concert event exploring Intersections of Soul, Jazz & Hip-Hop – Cross-Cultural Connections. The award-winning NW band Global Heat performs with Grammy-nominated Jazz artist Nathan Breedlove and special guests Anil Prasad, master of Indian Tabla; multi-instrumentalist Boka Kouyate of Guinea; and Beatbox Panda, a champion of vocal percussion. The 12-member ensemble will take you on a journey from the classic Jazz Hip Hop of A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Guru, and more; to the soulful sounds of Jill Scott and Erykah Badu; to present day fusion of Kendrick LaMar, Jon Batiste, and Global Heat originals.
