Live from the Lawn - Rhythm and Roots

Description/Comments

Join us for Rhythm and Roots, a special Live from the Lawn event at the Hawai‘i State Art Museum on First Friday on February 5th from 6 to 9 p.m. This event celebrates Black History Month and features an array of music that represents some of the innumerable contributions African-Americans have made to our rich culture. Gospel, Blues, R & B, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Slam Poetry will be featured.

The lawn program begins with the ‘Iolani School Tam- Young Jazz Combo, established as an additional performing ensemble in the stage band program, and emphasizing jazz improvisation and literature in a small group setting. Performing next is the Trinity Missionary Baptist Church Gospel Choir.

Rico Woltz, a blues guitarist and a compelling performer formerly of Coast to Coast Blues Band which served as the backup band for the late, great Blues Legend John Lee Hooker. Over the past 40 plus years his musical career has included performances at the office of the President, The Apollo Theater, The American Red Cross and the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto Canada. Headlining on the lawn is “A Touch Of Gold,” one of Hawaii’s premiere musical groups, Na Hoku Hanohano Award Winners specializing in that Motown sound. Upstairs in the Lanai Lounge will be music by Rumba Negro, Cerro Negro’s John Martin III, Frank Giordano and Dusty Brough teaming up with local talent to create an offshoot that will perform North and West African rooted, Spanish and Latin American spiced rumbas. Then there’s a performance by Yung Tunez, an up-andcoming young rapper, originally from the east coast, who now resides on O’ahu.
