Wednesday, November 1, 2006 at 7:30 PM This roots reggae band has been compared to Bob Marley and the Wailers for its provocative and profound music. Founded in 1996 by lead singer Jalani Horton, Bambu Station has played in venues around the world and has a strong following. The soul-stirring music attracts dynamic new artists, which has allowed the band to grow, tour, and participate in community events to help those in need.
On November 29th, Bambu Station will debut a new song called "Good Morning (How Are the Children?)." It is a song based on a Tanzanian tradition of wisdom that asks the question, "How are the children?" According to tradition, as long as the children are fine, then the community will thrive.
Artist in Residence Program
In 2005, Strathmore introduced its Artist in Residence program, an initiative to help cultivate local musical talent in the Washington, D.C. area by connecting established performers with up-and-coming musicians. Emerging performers and mentor artists will be in residence in the Mansion at Strathmore for the duration of one month. During this month, each artist will have the opportunity to develop an audience in the area, perfect their performances, create an educational program, and premiere a new work commissioned by Strathmore. The premiere will occur on the last concert of the month and will reflect the musical growth of the artist in residence.
Parking for Artist in Residence is in the Mansion Lot, entrance off of 10701 Rockville Pike.
