One World Tribe

Friday (Nov. 23) the day after Thanksgiving, Nietszche’s presents one of North America’s premier world music groups One World Tribe playing a special holiday show. This is the Tribe’s first local performance in a year, since lead vocalist Preach Freedom got busy with a “side project”as the percussionist for the multi platinum super group Rusted Root. Playing their acclaimed mix of world beat—fusing hip hop, reggae, funk, soul, jazz, salsa and African pop—OWT is back to leading audiences on a cross-continental musical trip. The group will be performing new material from the forthcoming Armed & Dangerous (due in stores on Jan. 7) as well as classics from Bob Marley, Parliament/Funkadelic, KRS One, Santana, Arrested Development and more. An early show with Mike Meldrum & Friends starts the night off at 6pm, and One World Tribe will take the stage at 10:30pm.
