The Afrobeats superstar MR EAZI straddles the musical worlds of his homeland Nigeria and Ghana, where he built his career. A pioneer of Banku music, which mixes intense rhythms with laid-back vocals delivered in Ghanaian Pidgeon English, his charisma will light the Bandshell on fire. The multi-talented New York-based AJO will warm up the stage with her upbeat R&B outfit, and BEMBONA, a Puerto Rican-Panamanian artist and activist, opens.
Free performances at the Bandshell are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. Capacity is limited. RSVPs are not required and do not guarantee entry.
