Zili Misik

Zili Misik, graduates of the Berklee College of Music and a prized world music ensemble from Boston, is a coterie of virtuosos fusing blues, jazz, samba, reggae and neo-soul to create a diasporic world beat sound. Combining unique rhythms of African and Haitian roots with Latin and Jamaican tinges, Zili’s members hail from sundry locales spanning Japan to Trinidad, and as such they’ve been bringing their multi-cultural music across continents for seven years. They play one night only in WNY, at Nietszche’s on Friday (Feb. 15), with support from fellow Bostonian singer-songwriter Tony Brown, and local bands Ramforinkus and Peanut Brittle Satellite, along with Peter Burakowski of the band Shambu. The show starts at 10pmmarcus scott
