Soulsha- The Lantern Series at Elm Street Event Green

Soulsha is a party, a revolution, and an adventure through different traditions. It brings together some of Bostons top musicians in Scottish, West African, and Funk music to create a sound you wont find anywhere else on the planet.Soulful call and response singing, masterful improvisation, traditional Senegalese and Scottish dancing and incredible energy make every Soulsha show an unforgettable live experience. Intricate rhythms, soaring bagpipe melodies, and New Orleans-infused horn lines come together seamlessly, and the joy of music rises above all differences, reminding us that were all in this together.While it shares obvious roots with Afro-Celt Sound Systems electronic fusion, the funk-inspired sound of Soulsha puts tradition and interchange center stage, bringing the party energy of Rebirth Brass Band, and the cultural gravitas of masters like Malian Toumani Diabat. The sound is fun but deep, fresh but familiar, immigrant and yet deeply American. This event is rain or shine.
