KeyBank Live at Larkin with Big Easy in Buffalo presents: Terrence Simien and the Zydeco Experience

Thanks to Big Easy in Buffalo for bringing us from New Orleans, Terrence Simien and the Zydeco Experience, a stellar group of artists who for more than four decades have been creating a hypnotic blend of New Orleans funk and brass- reggae-flavored-world-blues-American and zydeco roots music. Simien has found an authentic and artful way to deliver his roots music as a relevant, evolving artist who is clearly rooted in Louisiana Creole music traditions. Also in the group is Buffalo native trumpeter Michael Christie!

Joining the fun from Buffalo is El Bateys Agua de Liberté, a Puerto Rican Bomba youth ensemble that delivers captivating performances of traditional Bomba songs with authentic percussion and dance arrangements. Bomba is Puerto Rico’s oldest musical tradition, reflecting the island’s rich folklore, culture, and history.

Enjoy food and refreshments from Bratts Hill in Larkin Square along with a selection of food Trucks. The event, including parking is free thanks to @keybank and @independenthealth.ih
