We have been hoping to host Samora for many years now.

It is with great excitement that we are able to present him and his band - and on top of that, to feature his sister, the legendary Elena Pinderhughes.

We have been blessed with riches here!!Samora Pinderhughes is a composer, pianist, vocalist, filmmaker, and multidisciplinary artist known for using his music to examine sociopolitical issues and fight for change.
