Last year… April 24th… at Music Box Village… something sacred took place.
We didn’t just have a concert.
We created a moment in history.
We stood together to honor a giant — Youssou Ndour— and the unstoppable force of Super Étoile de Dakar. Through the love of the people and the power of the culture, the city of New Orleans rose up and presented him with a proclamation, a key to the city, and a day in his name.
A bridge between Africa and the diaspora… honored properly.
But in that same breath… in that same spirit…
The city turned around… and gave me something I will carry for the rest of my life.
Weedie Braimah Day.
Not for ego.
Not for hype.
But for what the drum represents.
For what we’ve built together.
For what’s STILL being written.
And now…
We answer that blessing the only way we know how:
WITH MORE FIRE. MORE LOVE. MORE TRUTH.
🔥 APRIL 29TH 🔥
We return… stronger… deeper… louder…
