There was a low monotonous whistle. As it progressed, there came the sound of guitars, and then as the song kept steady, no one moved. Suddenly, there’s a beat! And it almost seems as if its coursed through all of us. Without moving we stay stuck in our seats. And do you know what the audience is craving? Another saxophone riff.

Nearly thirty minutes later, people are crowding closer to the stage, and TRaC member Adonys and I are surfing through a large crowd of people just to get near the stage. We close in on the stage because we’re entranced by the incredibly vibrant music of internationally renowned artists who’ve united to create Red Hot + Fela.

As someone who hasn’t been to many concerts I would strongly recommend that anyone and everyone head down to the Lincoln Center “Out of Doors” concert series, running from Wednesday July 24th-Sunday July 28th.
