Deannah called out the crowd
Rochester-based reggae collective Noble Vibes brought the heat for their first Syracuse performance last night inside The Community Folk Art Center’s Black Box Theater. The group promoted their version of musical oneness and played cuts from their new CD “On The Radio.” They also remixed in some reggae classics such as “No Woman, No Cry” and “Murder She Wrote.” Hopefully they will make a return visit soon so more people can catch their conscious party.
Noble’s next performance will be at Rochester’s Temple Bar & Grille.
The show was the re-start for CFAC’s Journey Through Music of the African Diaspora: Women in Music series.
