--Pre-Celebration to Concert at Amazura in Queens--
On Friday, July 25th, S.O.B.'s invites you to meet the members of Caribbean Super-Group, Kassav,
up-close-and-personal. The creators of zouk music, Kassav will be in
NYC for an exclusive live performance, presented by S.O.B.'s, at
Amazura in Queens on Saturday, July 26th. To preview this momentous
concert event, Kassav will make a special appearance at S.O.B.'s weekly
Friday Manhattan Haitian Dance Party, to meet with their fans and
members of the press. S.O.B.'s weekly Manhattan Haitian Dance Party is
the longest running French Caribbean party in Manhattan, having
featured the most popular groups in Konpa and Zouk like T-Vice, Tabou
Combo, Sweet Micky and many more. In addition to Kassav's appearance,
there will be a live performance by DO-LA, an innovative young band that combines the sounds of konpa and R&B.
Kassav performed a legendary sold-out concert at S.O.B.'s in July 2007, which was reviewed by Jon Pareles of the New York Times,
who described the show: "with a sold-out audience at S.O.B.'s, Kassav
had obviously not been forgotten. Audience members shouted along on
nearly every song, singing not only the words but also the zigzagging
horn-section lines. And Kassav' has had so many hits it had to pack
them into medleys." This performance created such a demand for the
group that they had to return this year at a larger venue, this time
armed with material from their new album All U Need Is Zouk. Since the
album's release, the heat has been turned up a notch, and Kassav has
toured non-stop in front of sold-out audiences, including six
back-to-back sellouts at the Zenith in Paris.
Zouk
means "party" in Creole and is a rhythmic style of dance music, with
origins in Guadeloupe and Martinique, and Kassav lives up to the
genre's name; every Kassav has consistently yielded hit songs, classics and set the bar
higher for creativity and showmanship. Fans not lucky enough to catch
Kassav's performance last year at S.O.B.'s, now have the opportunity to
catch them up-close-and-personal.
