Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra

There’s more than one good reason to get out to see the Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra at 2220 Arts. First off, the organization has been an incubator of talent, with more than 300 innovative musicians playing in the group since the '70s – and this is a chance to catch them in a smaller space, ahead of their performance next month as part of Noon to Midnight at Disney Hall. But it’s also an opportunity to help support their musical director, Mekala Session, who’s facing eviction from his studio space and is holding this event as a fundraiser. The night will feature selections of music videos filmed in the garage of Session's home, which also serves as the rehearsal space of the band.
