The Iberi Choir brings Georgian polyphonic singing to Pettoranello Gardens Amphitheater (Route 206 and Mountain Avenue, Princton) while Lakou Mizik from Haiti will supply the danceable grooves on Saturday, July 21 as part of the Blue Curtain series. The concert, free and open to all, starts at 7 p.m.
Georgia's traditional songs ring on, finding new life in the rich voices of Iberi. The six-person ensemble channels the emotional potential of their homeland's age-old polyphony and traditional instruments. These are songs so beautiful, they were launched into space on Voyager 2's golden record and declared an intangible cultural treasure by UNESCO.
Lakou Mizik was founded in 2010 in the wake of the Haitian earthquake as an act of resilience. This group of musicians from diverse backgrounds and generations plays music based on traditional Haitian sounds (Rasin) blended with elements of rap and dancehall. A genuine celebration of life!
Concertgoers are encouraged to come early and enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting of Pettoranello Gardens at Community Park North. Blankets and low-backed lawn chairs are recommended for lawn seating. Blue Curtain is presented in cooperation with the Princeton Recreation Department.
