A Celebration of Folk Music from Around the World
About this Event

Singing The Bones is back at Soft Medicine! Through an evening that is part musical performance & part sing-a-long, the Singing The Bones ensemble will lead us with riveting folk music from around the world, encouraging reconnection to ancestral cultures through music and cultural legacy. Many of us grow up disconnected from our ancestral cultures, requiring us to consciously turn towards our histories and study to learn the foods, festivities, folklore, and songs that lie there. Tonight is a celebration of three American artists who have pursued this path of reconnection, sharing some of the bounties of what they have found.

Lydia will share songs from her Iranian and Armenian heritages, rich with poetry and longing. M'Gilvry Allen will share fiddle tunes and ballads from his Scottish, Irish, and Scandinavian ancestries, luring us in with rhythm and strings. And Kele Nitoto will share music from Haiti, Congo, and West Africa, drawing from his multiple generations of a musical family from Oakland itself. Through all these shares these three artists will collaborate, sharing cultural bounty through and through!

You're invited to come and enjoy the sounds, and learn some tunes as well! We will also teach you some songs throughout the night, summoning the joy of singing together. We hope to weave a soulful thread for that which feels tattered and longs for peace and reconnection.

Doors at 7:00: Show at 7:30
