For Festival of Fools, we go all out. Jupiter & Okwess headline this incredible show, with All of the Rivers kicking things off.
About Jupiter & Okwess
Explosive! Na Kozonga, the new album by Jupiter and his band, Okwess, is a blast of energy that bewitches the body and feeds the spirit. Since the beginning, the Jupiter and his fellow pyrotechnicians have been drawing the rhythms of the Congo out of obscurity to reveal their superpowers: the powers of rock and funk, ready for every kind of musical coupling and any kind of invitation.
About All of the Rivers
All of the Rivers is a global journey through song, story, and dance, featuring Avi Salloway (Billy Wylder / Bombino) in collaboration with international artists now living in Vermont. The project weaves together myriads of sounds, cultures, and stories into a dynamic performance. Curated and directed by musician and activist Avi Salloway, the performance features Burlington-based Congolese Choir, Jeh Kulu, Koblavi Delali, Steeve Valcourt from Lakou Mizik, Pia Zapata, and Billy Wylder band members Pia Ella, and Ricardo Guerra. The lively and unique show presents themes of migration, justice, love, freedom, home, and connection.
