Welcome to the beautiful life
For countless generations, you could find some of the best music in the world safely hidden in the many soulful corners of Washington, DC. However, our city has grown and changed, and those little soulful corners have become even more compartmentalized and separated, dividing us more than ever.
BUT WHAT IF WE, THE MUSIC LOVERS, SHARED OUR MUSIC TOGETHER ON THE DANCEFLOOR? What if DC’s rich legacy of Jazz, Soul, House, Funk, Latin, and Carribbean music collided to show that our musical culture can be the best weapon against dividing us? THE SOUL OF THE CITY will showcase three of the city’s greatest DJs each paired with one of DC’s most accomplished live musicians, all of them representing different musical communities in Washington. Pedro Night will present the saxophone of BJ Simmons. Farid Azouri will be featuring Deborah Bond on vocals. And Miss H.E.R. will have The Bearded Drummer joining her on live drums.
Thanks to a generous grant from The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the entire evening will be presented by DC Soul Sounds for FREE on Thursday, September 26th at Culture in NE DC. All you need to do is RSVP, and show up at 9pm prepared to join your musical brothers and sisters on the dance floor with open ears, full hearts, and comfortable shoes.
