The African Heritage Cultural Arts Center (AHCAC) presents the 8th Annual Sankofa Jazz Festival at the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center on Saturday, April 15 at 6 pm.
The festival will feature award-winning “Take 6.”
The Sankofa Jazz Festival is a traditional outdoor event for the Center and local community.
“We are thrilled to feature the extraordinary Grammy Awards-winning Take 6 this year. The band will delight festival goers with amazing vocals,” said Marshall Davis, Managing Director of the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center. Songs well-loved, and a few never-performed live, are included in this special concert at AHCAC for the Miami audience.
This is the first performance of Take 6’s special project, “Join The Band.” The title comes from an album with the same name, where instrumentalists join the legendary group as part of their repertoire. Take 6 is an a cappella group heralded by Quincy Jones as the “Baddest vocal cats on the planet!”
The group has received many accolades, including 10 Grammy Awards, 10 Dove Awards, 2 NAACP Image Awards, a Soul Train Award, and more. Take 6 features Claude McKnight, Mark Kibble, Joel Kibble, Dave Thomas, Alvin Chea, and Khristian Dentley. In addition to Take 6, Kizie The Violist is sure to wow the crowd.
The AHCAC was founded in 1975 to serve as the nesting ground for emerging talent in the performing and visual arts in the heart of Liberty City.
By providing quality instruction, inspiration, and encouragement to young people within the community, the Center has fulfilled its mission for more than 40 years, creating a means for youth to discover their artistic talents every day.
