WTC presents Okaidja Afroso Trio tonight
The Whitefish Theatre Company presents the Okaidja Afroso Trio at 7:30 p.m. tonight, Oct. 28, at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.
The dynamic ensemble of musicians is known for its spicy fusion of traditional and contemporary African rhythms. A family-friendly concert, Okaidja is an Afro-pop singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Ghana, West Africa. His trio features diverse, unexpected cross-cultural flavors of folk, blues and pop. Okaidja sings most of his hypnotic arrangements in his native language, yet the
meanings of the songs shine in the stories he tells of his people, their journeys, and the African diaspora. Okaidja is known for his smooth compositions, soulful vocals, and spirited dancing.
