"Elikeh mixes Afrobeat with traditional Togolese polyrhythms to produce captivating tunes that are as listenable as they are danceable. Although based in indigenous traditions, Elikeh’s music has no borders, exploring global themes and personal odysseys. “A band of D.C.-area musicians present us with a modern form of groovy, jazzy, and dance-friendly rhythms…Elikeh taps into the same historical energy of Afro-beat bands of long ago. Yet, Elikeh is new, refreshing, and distinct.” Matthew Forss, Inside World Music (7.11.10)"

"The Chariots play a combination of old school ska/reggae classics and bold originals that probe the highs and low lives of the modern "rude boy." With a full horn section, popping congas and dedicated rhythm section the Chariots bring fun and a little bit of chaos to every show."

"The "Malcolm X Park Drummers" are part of the group of drummers that gather at the Malcolm X Park on the warm/sunny Sundays to communicate through drumming. 7 drummers will be at this show."
