Outkast's Andre 3000 Tours New Sound with 'New Blue Sun'
Esperanza Spalding is in the midst of a huge career evolution. Having emerged in the early 2000s as the anointed savior of modern jazz (who beat out Justin Bieber to a Best New Artists Grammy), she's dispatched with her traditional arrangements as she creates her work. Fans can expect an eclectic mix of music, narrative and performance art, which really delves into healing and giving the audience member or listener and truly tingling sensation.
First formed to provide the music to legendary producer Miles Copland's Bellydance Superstars troupe, Beats Antique is composed of David Satori on the guitar, saz and viola, Sidecar Tommy Cappel on the keys and toy piano, and Zoe Jakes, belly dancer, and composer extraordinaire. Together the experimental trio creates a heady fusion of Balkan-style wedding music, electronica, Middle Eastern riffs, Gypsy Jazz and flamenco amongst other world music genres, all packaged within a highly entertaining live show.
Andr 3000, renowned for his infectious hip-hop style as part of Outkast, took a bold artistic turn in 2023 with the release of his debut solo album "New Blue Sun.". Moving away from groovy beats and emotional wordplay, Andre released an entirely instrumental album (featuring lots of flutes). Andre 3000 will be bringing the New Blue Sun to life with Carlos Nio, Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, and Deantoni Parks.
Los Angeles Azules brings the true sound of Cumbia music to cities across the US in their latest tour. Formed in Mexico in 1975 this family affair has been making music and touring together for the last 40 plus years. In 2001 they celebrated their 20th anniversary in true style with getting nominated at the Billboard Latin Music Awards.
