Barika @ SOUNDWAVES
A community summer concert series on the shores of Lake Champlain
Ballard Park, Westport, NY
Thursday July 17th at 7:30 PM
Soundwaves is pleased to present the Burlington jazz-funk-Afrobeat band Barika, which has been called “Vermont’s best-kept musical secret,” on July 17th as part of the Westport Community Concert Series at Ballard Park.
The members of Barika are:
- Craig Myers (Kamel N’goni)
- Caleb Bronze (drums)
- Rob Morse (bass)
- Andrew Moroz (trombone and keys)
- Will Andrews (Synth/ Effects)
“Led by their grooves, Barika is wholly rhythmic, captivating audiences with the beautiful, hypnotic way in which they interweave melody and groove to create something that is not only danceable, but incredibly interesting to listen to. Barika creates a soundscape of funk soaked in psychedelic, West African resonance.” – Performer Magazine
