After you’ve braved the crowds and the stores, after you’ve
eaten the leftovers and watched all the football you can take, shake off your
Black Friday Blues at Velvet Kente’s Winter Clothes Dance Party. If you’ve been
to any of Velvet Kente’s previous Dance Parties, you already know that this is
a show not to be missed.
The band asks that you bring an item of winter clothing to
donate. All clothing donated will benefit Our House, a shelter in Little Rock
that offers educational programs, daycare, job training, workforce preparedness
training, financial assistance programs, emergency shelter, and more for the
working homeless.
The setlist is all songs from “the African diaspora,” which,
if the previous soul and Afro beat parties are any indication, will be
seriously funky.
The show starts at 10 p.m. (with support from DJ Swet and DJ
Prophet) at the White Water Tavern. The cover is $10 ($7 with an article of
winter clothing).
If you're not convinced, here's a clip from last fall's Afro Soul Dance Party.
