Dash into the Woods to celebrate the release of the debut studio album from New Zombies, who will perform the tracks live (plus other pieces).
About New Zombies
This 11-piece Oakland-based band plays the music of
Dan Plonsey through the avant party lens of Afrobeat, Afropop, highlife, and reggae. Drawing its name from Fela Kuti’s landmark album Zombie, musical inspirations include Fela, King Sunny Ade, James Brown, and Sun Ra, creating a new sound that takes international dance music, and the music of Northern El Cerrito, in adventurous directions.
