Tcheka Concert
From the people who brought you Makoomba and Sekouba Bambino at the Red Bike in 2014, Jacob Bain and Vashon Events present Tcheka, an Cape Verde International Touring Musician who will be making a special stop on Vashon Island to bring his exquisite style of music that is a testament to the global influences he has embraced.
Tcheka's essence is impossible to grasp, let alone pin down he is neither modernist, nor traditionalist, and his music resists any easy categorization or comparison. While referencing multiple genres from Cape Verde (batuku, funaná, finason, tabanka, morna and coladera), Tchekas music is also a busy intersection of Brazilian and African pop, traditional forms, folk, jazz, blues, rock, literature, anthropology and film. It is never just Cape Verdean, and its never just music, but its always captivating.
Cape Verde is a nation on a volcanic archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa. Its known for its Creole Portuguese-African culture, traditional morna music and numerous beaches.
Tcheka is undoubtedly a young master of an art that he has invented, and like any true master, his essence is impossible to grasp, let alone pin down. Contrary to journalistic opinion, he is neither modernist, nor traditionalist, and his music resists any easy categorization or comparison. While referencing multiple Cape Verdean genres (batuku, funaná, finason, tabanka, morna and coladera), Tchekas music is also a busy intersection of Caribbean, Brazilian and African pop and traditional forms, folk, jazz, blues, rock, literature, anthropology and film. It is never just Santiaguense, never just Cape Verdean, and never just music. Perhaps what Tcheka presents is an entirely new vision of what it means to be Creole in the age of globalisation: to be a hybrid product of the historical forces of slavery, colonialism and national independence, but at the same time, to be deeply affected by post-modern forces as well by the growing inevitability of travel and trans-national encounters, by the emergence of new regimes of knowledge, art and capitalism and by the increasing inseparability of technology and the human imagination.
Join us at the Vashon High School Theater on September 19th from 7-8:30pm for a once in a lifetime chance to see this amazing performer. Jacob Bain will open the evening with his own music and an introduction of Tcheka. Tickets are $10 Students, $15 on Brown Paper Tickets, and $20 at the door.
