Roosevelt Central presents live reggae with 7fireside 5:30pm-8pm Friday, July 21st.
7Fireside is a Los Angeles-based band. Their sound, referred to as ‘7Fireside music,’ is a genre that defies easy categorization, channeling Black World sonics, (with obvious reggae & African music influences).
This unique blend of sounds is by Jeff (drums), Stone Mays (bass), Mohamdo (percussions) and 7 (vocals). They are respectively from Los Angeles, San Diego, Sudan/Egypt and Ghana.
7 sings Rastafari lyrics from a distinct African POV interfacing with the world. Engaging the geopolitical and interpersonal politics of discourse in history and current affairs, the songs explore what cognition + perception becomes when we move past dominant understandings of art, politics, economics, etc. and re-align with our actual existential interests; what happens to art when we bypass ‘industry’ expectations and communicate directly heart to heart.
Roosevelt Central is the soul of Roosevelt Coffee, where we connect coffee, culture and community. Our event is donation-based and proceeds go to support the artists. Registration is required for attendance. Our intention is to offer a platform for the local creative community.
Pop-up bar by The Cocktail Concierge will be offering cocktails, wine & beer.
