Sons of Kemet
UW Union South-The Sett 1308 W. Dayton St., Madison, Wisconsin 53706
Jazz has always been cool. But a fresh new wave of artists is making it even cooler, and this London-based quartet is among the most interesting groups around. Led by saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, their 2018 major label debut, Your Queen is a Reptile, is politically charged, rhythmically engaging and unapologetically Afrofuturist, drawing from hip-hop, Caribbean music and even British grime.
press release: The Wisconsin Union Theater, along with Wisconsin Union Directorate Music Committee, present British jazz group Sons of Kemet on Thursday, 10/4/2018 at 9 pm in The Sett, Union South. This show is free and open to the public!
