New World Soul represents collaborative musical strivings for increased racial justice, and particularly for those of African descent. Inspired by those who have passed and the musical traditions they created here in the "New World", our music will reflect the activism of those who became ancestors in 2020; building upon musical traditions that reflect the soul(s) of the New World by fusing jazz, highlife, mizik rasin, and African American spirituals. Zili Misik is joined by Cuatro Puntos Ensemble for this one-night performance!
