Outdoor Concert at the Florence Congregational Church
Friday, June 11 at 5 p.m.
Ravid Kahalani’s Yemen Blues project begins and ends with the singer’s rhapsodic voice and a Yemeni accent acquired from childhood religious singing — but everything in the middle is global, funky, and outrageous. Kahalani’s music reaches into Moroccan gnawa, Nigerian afrobeat, ecstatic jazz, and global soul.
