Sudan Archives + Cartel Madras

A self-taught violinist who became obsessed with Sudanese fiddling, Brittney Parks is not your typical R&B star on the rise. Her debut album, Athena, showcases her powerful voice, deftly layered violin arrangements and an impressive list of producers who add laid-back rhythms and growling basslines to the mix. Catch her at Sleeping Village while you can, because there's no way that the next Sudan Archives show in Chicago won't be at a much larger venue. Canadian-via-India hip-hop duo Cartel Madras open the show.
