OUTSIDE at the Research Park: Funkadesi, opening act Hathaways
Friday, July 17 at 7:30pm; opening act at 6:30pm
Krannert Center partners with Fox/Atkins Development, LLC, and the U of I Research Park to present another exciting three-show series of summer concerts in a welcoming, eco-friendly public venue featuring tempting food and beverage options from Biaggi’s Restaurant. First up is the eclectic stew of East Indian raga, a bit of reggae, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and contemporary grooves that form the perfect recipe for a joyfully vibrant world music experience from five-time Chicago Music Award winner Funkadesi. This group is sure to start the series off with a high-energy punch—even fellow Chicagoan President Obama recently noted, “There’s a lot of funk in that desi!”
