Meet the Performers
Israel Solomon- Percussion
Emmanuel Nsingani- Guitar
Bibire Harmony- Vocals
Percussionist Israel Solomon and guitarist Emmanuel Nsingani combine rhythms to the jazzy vocals of Bibire Harmony as they bring a mix of Jazz, RnB, and Neo Soul to the second year performing in the Arts HQ Gallery's Lunchtime Theater series.
Israel Solomon grew up surrounded by music. Born of Eritrean and Akimel O’odham parents, diverse musical influences had an early significance in his life. He is rooted in his Phoenix upbringing, where he used music to find connection to his own sense of identity and forge his place in the community as an artist. As a percussionist of 10 years, Israel has a wide range of genres which started in jazz and blossomed into a fusion of sounds which include R&B, Folk, Latin, and most recently Afrobeat. Through his music, Israel has collaborated with poets, storytellers, dancers, speakers, and singers to bring forth the beauty of what he views is art in its purest form. Israel uses his gentle humor to amuse and include audience members in performances, which brings a unique experience to the viewer.
