A Cedar Suede and Naomi Wachira land at SPACECRAFT
" A Cedar Suede, who not only have a mean accordion and violin player, but their sound is so diverse and distinct that one moment you'll hear an Afro-Cuban beat you're moving your feet to, and the next second you're pondering if you're catching a hint of bluegrass in the same song." Seattle Art Museum
A synergy of Afro-Cuban beats, sultry R&B, and lively pastoral melodies, A Cedar Suede is a cinematic world-funk ensemble from Seattle. Featuring accordion, violin and Spanish guitar, with a thick rhythm section, performing originals and a few classics, it's Astor Piazolla cruising with Chick Corea in a lowered El Camino. Deep luscious grooves, handmade with love.
Named Best Folk Singer by Seattle Weekly in 2013, Naomi Wachira, makes music plucked from her life, imbued with a sense of hope. She credits her influence to two groundbreaking female songwriters, Miriam Makeba and Tracy Chapman. The daughter of a pastor, Naomi joined the traveling family band at five years old, spreading the good word through gospel song in Kenya. Since then, with her Afro infused rhythms and simple lyrics, she has sought to make a positive mark in the world, by reminding us that not matter our differences, we are all alike in our existence.
