KeyBank Live at Larkin July 31st with Big Easy in Buffalo
July 31, 2024 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
KeyBank Live at Larkin July 31st with Big Easy in Buffalo presents: Terrence Simien and the Zydeco Experience with El Batey’s Agua de Liberte plus food from Bratts Hill and additional food trucks including World of Dessert, Oso Nero Pizza & Buffalo Bros Burgers. Free parking and admission.
Thanks to Big Easy in Buffalo for bringing us from New Orleans, Terrence Simien and the Zydeco Experience, a stellar group of artists who for more than four decades have been creating a hypnotic blend of New Orleans funk and brass- reggae-flavored-world-blues-American and zydeco roots music. Simien has found an authentic and artful way to deliver his roots music as a relevant, evolving artist who is clearly rooted in Louisiana Creole music traditions. Also in the group is Buffalo native trumpeter Michael Christie!
Joining the fun from Buffalo is El Bateys Agua de Liberté, a Puerto Rican Bomba youth ensemble that delivers captivating performances of traditional Bomba songs with authentic percussion and dance arrangements. Bomba is Puerto Rico’s oldest musical tradition, reflecting the island’s rich folklore, culture, and history.
