Representing an infectious genre of music rarely heard in the U.S., the Palm Wine Music of Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Ghana and superb musicianship, this is truly a world music concert not to be missed. Palm Wine Boys includes members of Zulu Spear, Matt Lax & Nearly Beloved, Eliyahu &The Qadim Ensemble).They have thrilled the crowds at the Strawberry and California World Festivals and shared the stage with notable talent such as Norton Buffalo and the Wailin' Jennies. Come down, relax, and experience this compelling West African music. It's like storytelling with an African groove behind it. All ages are encouraged to come and expand their musical horizons.
The rich vocal harmonizing, combined with intricate guitar interplay and lilting rhythms make Palm Wine Boys a fresh, warm breeze in the increasingly stale 'world music' atmosphere
- Larry Kelp, KPFA
Combining elements of highlife and acoustic folk, this group calls to mind all that is wonderful about African music: Hope, history, and a bit of joyful tipsiness.
