$SECRET PLANET \/\/ Mourning [A] BLKstar (Afro-Futurist Neo-Soul Cleveland OH) @ Manny's Sat Feb 28$

Mourning \[A\] BLKstar is a genre-defying collective rooted in Black radical tradition, improvisation, and community practice. Blending soul, punk, hip-hop, free jazz, and spoken word, their music feels less like a band and more like a living conversation—one that moves between grief and joy, resistance and care. The group’s work is deeply collaborative, often pulling from personal testimony, ancestral memory, and the realities of Black life in America.
Onstage, Mourning \[A\] BLKstar creates an immersive, cathartic experience—raw, political, and deeply human—where songs stretch, collapse, and rebuild in real time. Their performances invite listeners into a shared space of reflection and possibility, honoring struggle while insisting on tenderness, imagination, and collective liberation.
