Free Jazz Music Concert Featuring Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids
SAN FRANCISCO - EntSun -- The 27th Annual AfroSolo Arts Festival kicks-off August 7, 2021 in collaboration with the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival with a free concert featuring Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids from 1:00-2:30 p.m. The community is encouraged to bring a blanket and enjoy an afternoon of Jazz, Afro Beat, world music, and cosmic funk paying homage to Fela Kuti, Sun Ra, Funkadelic, and James Brown.
More than a musician or performer, Idris Ackamoor is a conjurer who transforms any space he inhabits into a protean state where the past manifests and the future reveals itself. A saxophonist, composer, percussionist, actor, tap dancer, producer, and director, he's the guiding spirit of the San Francisco performance company Cultural Odyssey, and the founder and artistic director of the storied jazz and world music ensemble Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids
More on EntSun News
The ensemble includes Idris Ackamoor on saxophones, vocals, keyboards, and percussions, Sandra Poindexter on acoustic and electric violins, vocals and percussions, Bobby Cobb on guitar, and vocals, Tony price on congas and percussions, Charles homes on bass, and Josh Jones on drums and percussions.
Ackamoor has titled his performance "Dream Keepers Awake" in celebration of Mayor London Breed, San Francisco's Board of Supervisor's President Shaman Walton, and the entire Board's historical precedent of reassigning a portion of its Police and Sheriff Departments funds intending to break the cycle of poverty and involvement in the criminal justice system for Black people in San Francisco. The funds will create programs related to youth development, economic opportunity, community-led change, arts and culture, workforce development, and homeownership in the Black community.
AfroSolo Theatre Company, Cultural Odyssey, Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, and San Francisco Recovery Theater have joined forces to create San Francisco's Black Legacy Theatre Group, which received funding from the Dream Keeper Initiative. For more information, visit #dreamkeeper@sfgov.org.
