Please join us for our annual All Saints community altar and candlelight concert. Bring photographs to remember your loved ones who have passed on, as well as any other offerings of flowers, candles, or momentos, and stay for a night of music and a communal feast. Our concert features ancestral blessings by Sula Evans, Sunni Patterson, the Spirit of Fi Yi Yi, and Big Chief Sunpie and the Northside Skull and Bone Gang, with music by Bruce Sunpie Barnes and Matt Hampsey of the Louisiana Sunspots, Herlin Riley (with Erica Falls on vocals), and our special guests, Alune Wade's band with musicians from Senegal, Benin, and French Guiana.
As a gift to the evenign, we will be giving out copies of Oshun's Fan and Mirror, Sunni Patterson's meditation book with the Neighborhood Story Project.
Light catering will be provided by the most delicious Honduran restaurant, Alma's, but please bring a dish to share that your ancestors loved to cook.
