Sat 11/29 @ 8PM
If you’re still not tired from all the shopping you did today at artisan markets, art shows and small locally owned shops on Small Business Saturday, then you might want to treat yourself to an evening out hearing some irresistibly infectious local music at the Grog Shop.
Try sitting still to Cleveland’s Hello! 3D but you’ll likely fail. The self-described “psychedelic cumbia” music they play is driven by lively, percussion-driven Latin rhythms from countries such as Colombia and Peru, influenced by ’60s/’70s South American cumbia, chicha and Afro-Latin music. It’s definitely the type of music that gets crowds up and on their feet. But it’s listening music too. The six musicians who comprise the band are all experienced and outstanding players with lengthy resumes.
Opening the evening is the duo Free Black!, featuring rapper/vocalist Floco Torres and drummer HR3, that blends diverse styles of Black music into hypnotic whole.
In addition, Goo La Goon will be spicing up the evening with live visuals. Go here for tickets and more info.
