An undisputed classic of Rastafarian-inspired music, “Grounation” is a 1972 album by Count Ossie and The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari. Combining Rastafari consciousness with deep spiritual jazz, the album is a definitive cultural statement of its time and place.

This event will celebrate the album while recreating a Rasta grounation, or gathering, featuring IMRiddim, TOUCH A DRUM, Autarchii, JonnyGo Figure, EDICA+, Anant Pradhan, Takuya Nakamura, Currincyaudio, Troy “Mobius” Simms, Nikhil Yerawadekar, and many more.

Expanding on Pique-nique’s “Take Two” deep-listening series, the afternoon will consist of an uninterrupted playback of “Grounation” followed by a live reinterpretation by IMRiddim and TOUCH A DRUM. Dub-Stuy DJs EDICA+ and JonnyGo Figure will connect the dots between Ossie’s roots reggae and Takuya Nakamura’s Cosmic Jungle live project, which will close out the night.

Daddy Rabbit welcomes with open arms vocalist Leah Rich. She is a child of refugee Soviet musicians (like Misha). A first generation American, Leah was taught from birth, that freedom of expression is worth living and dying for. After a lifetime spent playing unsanctioned jazz under the oppressive Soviet regime, Leah’s family risked everything to start over in New York City. And there, a new creative powerhouse came to be. Leah’s authentic, urban style bridges the gap between her Soviet Azeri roots, and her metropolitan upbringing. Our new ticketing platform that allows you to purchase exactly the seats you’d like.
