The Occidental Brothers’ blend of high-energy soukous, rootsy Ghananian highlife, and African jazz conjures the sound of the golden age of the African guitar. Founded in Chicago by American-born musicians, the group features collaborations with Ghanaian superstars the Western Diamonds, members of TPOK Jazz, and the Congolese legend Samba Mapangala.

The event is free and takes place outdoors on a grassy meadow in proximity to Snug Harbor’s East Gate entrance. Attendees may bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on.
