Music on the Cortile: Obi Original
Advertisement
Afrocentric Sound. Global Vision. Obi Original is a storyteller, bandleader, and Afrobeats/Highlife innovator crafting music rooted in heritage and shaped for the future. Drawing inspiration from the timeless grooves of Oliver De Coque and Chief Osita Osadebe, and carrying the revolutionary spirit of Fela, Obi creates a sound that is deeply Nigerian, joyfully communal, and unmistakably his own.
As the founder of The Black Atlantics and a champion of Afrocentric music in the diaspora, Obi brings rhythm, culture, and connection to every stage he touches. His work blends tradition with modern energy—bridging continents, generations, and audiences through honest music with purpose.
Music on the Cortile (previously known as Music from the Porch and Music in the Café) presents live performances by musicians in the picturesque Musser Cortile at Landmark Center. Taking place over 5 Thursday lunch hours throughout the summer, these concerts offer an opportunity to hear talented local musicians. Best of all, they’re free and open to everyone. Attendees are welcome to bring their lunch or pick one up from Jenni's Cafe!
Upcoming Music on the Cortile Dates:
