SUMMARY:Taj Mahal
DESCRIPTION:For more than 40 years\, four-time Grammy-winning Blues Hall of Famer Taj Mahal and his band have taken blues on a joyous ride through reggae\, funk\, jazz\, Cajun\, and more\, leaving a trail of swinging hips and raised palms in their wake. The Quintet is made up of internationally renowned bassist Bill Rich and steel drummer Robert Greenidge (Jimmy Buffet’s Coral Reefer Band)\, revered percussionist/drummer Tony Durham and Hawaii-based guitarist and lap steel master Bobby Ingano. The Quintet matches musical virtuosity with downhome grit unlike anyone else. They blend sophistication with humble familiarity\, equally at home on a shotgun-shack porch or the Carnegie Hall stage. According to Taj\, the collaboration extends far beyond the Quintet itself. “Music is like theater to a lot of people—they’re watching it\,” he says. “You can watch it\, but you’re supposed to participate. The audience is just as much a part of the music as the musicians are.” Taj pauses\, then adds with a warm laugh\, “I do like it when they dance.”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances in the Lucas Theatre are made possible through support from SCAD.This performance is sponsored by Wilson Morris\, Visit Savannah\, and Ron & Susan WhitakerThis performance is sponsored in part by Sound View Wealth Advisors\, LLC | Kelly Bouchillon\, Emerson Ham\, Melissa Bouchillon\, Eddie Ambrose\, and Susan Willetts & Alan Pritz

SUMMARY:DakhaBrakha
DESCRIPTION:DakhaBrakha is a quartet from Kyiv\, Ukraine that creates a world of unexpected new music. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul\, DakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art ‘DAKH’ by avant-garde theater director Vladyslav Troitskyi. The name means ‘give/take’ in the old Ukrainian language. After experimenting with Ukrainian folk music\, they began to incorporate the rhythms of global traditions into their music\, creating the unique and unforgettable sound of DakhaBrakha. Accompanied by Indian\, Arabic\, African\, and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation\, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a distinctive global sound that is still rooted in Ukrainian culture. This is their first Savannah Music Festival appearance since 2017.  \n\n\n\n\n“The group mixes everything from punk-pop to traditional Ukrainian songs in cool yet beguiling textures\, often with the close harmonies usually associated with Balkan music. But it’s really the live shows that take DakhaBrakha beyond mere curiosity to utter brilliance.”  \n\n\n\n–NPR \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances at North Garden Assembly Room are made possible through support from the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.This performance is sponsored by Ships of the Sea Maritime MuseumThis performance is sponsored in part by Rose Architects
