Chenae Marie: First Take
The Community Folk Art Center (CFAC) kicked off Black History Month a few hours early by introducing Syracuse to the soul/boho/acoustic duo Che’Zee last night. The group is made up of husband-wife team Xeno and Chenae, who have their roots in the ATL underground music scene. This show was part of CFAC’s Journey Through Music of the African Diaspora series (with collaboration from WAER-FM 88).
