SUMMARY:ROAD WAVES w/ CHANCLA MOJADA
DESCRIPTION:Experience the sonic adventure that is Road Waves; a dynamic ensemble seamlessly melding the raw energy of rock\, the groove of funk\, and the sophistication of jazz into an electrifying genre-defying fusion. Conceived a decade ago by visionary front man Ji Sharp\, the band has swiftly ascended as a tour de force in the realm of live performances. This fiery unit has a deep bond with their audience\, with each performance delivering an energetic and emotional experience that captivates and energizes listeners. Their live shows skillfully mix precision and spontaneity\, creating a memorable experience that lingers long after the music ends. \nChancla Mojada\, pronounced like mojito but with twice the flavour\, is a 6 piece act based in the Kootenays. \nMelting latin funk and hip-hop into a groove stew\, don’t be surprised if you see your grandma getting down at the show. Just remember to bring your flip flops to slap along.
