Description

8 pm Taj Weekes & Adowa present a brand new experience in classic roots reggae. With wry trenchant lyrics, a haunting dusky quiver in his voice and the knock-down sound of his band Adowa, Taj Weekes weaves a rare social consciousness with an unforgettable reggae groove. The music of this St. Lucian-born musician defies category: an amalgam of roots-style reggae with a hint of Afro-folk, rock and jazz. A new acoustic album features songs dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. CSPS, 1103 Third St SE, Cedar Rapids, 319-364-1580 www.legionarts.org, www.midwestix.com $11 in advance, $15 door
