About the event

- Discover new global sounds as artists who bridge modern approaches with traditional roots come together. Three bands, two stages:

Sami Galbi (Switzerland and Morocco): A high-energy multi-instrumentalist blending North African Raï and Chaâbi with the raw analog textures of Swiss electronic and urban club culture. (7pm on The East Plaza, standing/general admission)

Bombino (Niger): The "Sultan of Shred" and desert blues icon fusing hypnotic Tuareg rhythms with raw rock-and-roll energy. (8:15pm in The Red Theater, reserved seating)

Ibibio Sound Machine (UK): A genre-defying afro-futurist collective blending West African rhythms, electronic textures, disco, post-punk, and global club energy. (9:30pm on The East Plaza, standing/general admission)
