Concert: Justina Lee Brown - Echoes of Home

"A fireball, a tornado, a sacred fire!" Charismatic artist Justina Lee Brown captivates audiences with her powerful, all-encompassing voice, enchanting them with compositions rooted in soul, funk, and blues. Her unique presence makes every concert a mesmerizing, transcendent experience... Justina Lee Brown was born on the streets of a Lagos ghetto. Bored while waiting at the markets where her mother sold sachets of water, she began to sing—and she hasn't stopped since. She found success at age 28, first in West Africa and then in Europe, yet it is on stages across the globe that she truly feels "at home." A self-described nomadic artist and multi-award winner, she pays a vibrant tribute to her African roots through songs she writes and performs with a masterful voice, body, and soul. Drawing on her personal experiences and a turbulent, painful past, she possesses an extraordinary strength that allows her to celebrate life and love through rhythms blending blues, reggae, jazz, soul, and funk. It is a broad musical universe where she can unleash the full power of her voice, stirring a wave of emotion and delight in her audience. These are suspended moments in time where this incandescent artist gives of herself completely, alternating between poetic and socially conscious lyrics.
