About this event
City Winery Atlanta and WLCK 91.9 presents Ami Taf Ra & Kamasi Washington live on November 18th at 6pm and 9:30pm!
Some collaborations feel inevitable in hindsight. Ami Taf Ra and Kamasi Washington's is one of them. This November, the North African, Los Angeles based vocalist and composer joins Grammy winning saxophonist and producer Kamasi Washington for a rare live presentation of Ami's debut album, *The Prophet and the Madman*, a project Washington produced and released through Brainfeeder.
The record itself defies easy categorization, and that's the point. Moroccan Gnawa rhythms meet Arabic musical tradition, gospel, soul, and spiritual jazz, all in service of a meditation on duality, healing, and ancestral memory. Inspired in part by Kahlil Gibran's writing, the album gives Ami's operatic, genre defying voice room to move between whispered intimacy and full theatrical release.
Onstage, the Ami and Washington partnership becomes something else entirely, built for listeners who take spiritual jazz seriously.
