Conrad Prebys Music Center Experimental Theater, UC San Diego

This special Black History Month collaboration brings together healing and celebration grounded in African Diasporic connections through time, space, and sound. Back to Source goes back to the roots of West African music and infuses it with Black futurism of Chicago House, Detroit Techno, Funk and more. For the first part of the night, immerse yourself in a healing sound bath of ambient electronics accompanied by the ancient West African kora played by Fode Sissoko of the Joko International & DAANSEKOU Cultural Arts Collective. The rest of the night, dance and celebrate community resiliency to the rhythm of live West African drums and Blacktronika music provided by Professor King Britt.
