LEAF Solid Gold 50th Festival: Legends of Africa
Oct 8 all-day
online w/ LEAF

 

Listen. Dance. Feel the music and that will answer, “Why the “Legends of Africa?” Africa is the core and essence of where so much of humanity and music has originated. It has forever influenced music and cultures throughout the world with the diaspora of its people. Over the years, LEAF has connected deeply with many African artists and presented artists from 32 of the 54 countries on the continent. These bonds and our love of Africa, bring us back the magic of not just the continent, but its people, our family. So join us for a true gathering of friends and the rekindling of traditions that have made the past 27 years of LEAF memorable.

“The shortest distance between two people is a story, a song, or a dance.”
Masankho Banda from Malawi.

Who is an African Legend you admire? Chinobay of Uganda said he’s been inspired by the music he listened to during Apartheid. He spoke of Miriam Makeba (nicknamed Momma Africa) a South African singer, songwriter and activist whose music was socially responsible and carried so much power for the people. What makes you a Legend is the MESSAGE you carry to the world.

In flow with Chinobay’s reflection, the artwork is a masterpiece created by legendary artist Trek 6 inspired by his work in South Africa while producing a documentary. Trek spoke about how the sunrises and sunsets in Africa were surreal, thus he began with a beautiful sun design.  A wall of drums in South Africa, where they host people from different tribes bringing food, song and art inspired the drums. In Trek’s own words, “Africa is cosmic, colorful, and the center to our past. From it we radiated.”We are honored by his artistic vision.

We are currently running a Business Membership Drive to boost our corporate support! We believe that the unique historic beauty of Asheville and Buncombe County is an important contributing factor to the economic health of our region. Our Business Membership program is a way for local businesses to participate in protecting not only the historic beauty but also the prosperity of our community.

Participating businesses will receive a number of benefits:

  • Recognition in our Pebbledash Newspaper, reaching 7500 homes twice a year
  • Recognition in our monthly eBlast, reaching 2500 people
  • Listing and link on PSABC website
  • Early invitations and discounts to PSABC events
Most importantly, the Business Membership program supports our ongoing work of preserving and promoting the unique historic resources of Asheville and Buncombe County! We have 3 levels of support to choose from, so there’s an option for everyone. Here is a link to Our Business Members page, and a link to Become a Business Member. Please reach out to Jamie at [email protected] for more information. We’d love to partner with you!
