Featured Artist of the Week: K-G and the Band

"Peace. Love. Rock for Hunger."

Hearing these words in K-G's own unique rhythmic form last November at the R4H Festival took me to a place I had never gone before. A state of mind that I had yet to experience in my lifetime. A musical form of euphoria.

It wasn't just the passion that was depicted through his attractive and intriguing Kenyan accented voice, nor his tight and relentless grasp of the microphone. Nor was it his one-of-a-kind style of wardrobe, fully equipped with one of his signature fedora hats; something you rarely to never see him without. Although each of these aspects are what makes K-G and the Band performances such incredible experiences, none were the catalysts of my orchestral euphoria. Instead, it was the infectious rhythms of the band, and the untarnished purity in the music. This ignited the elusive experience of being whisked away to an African village - A place of wonder and enlightenment.

K-G and the band isn't a good band. They are a great band. A band that offers more than just a tasty treat of instrumental licks and impeccable feel. Their blend of tribal, Afro-Beat, funk, jazz, and even raggae act as a gift-wrapped souvenir to be cherished and hung up to be a token of remembrance. You just don't find musical fusion like this anymore in this nation.

July 5th marks the epic return to Orlando for K-G and his extremely talented band of musicians. With him comes national touring artist Laura Reed and special guest Rock for Hunger Featured Artist - G-Ro. The show is July 5th at the Social. The details are listed on the flyer below.
