Bakra Bata at CenterStage

The Spokesman-Review

Bakra Bata Steel Band brings the sounds of the Caribbean to CenterStage on Sunday as part of the World Music Concert Series.

Since forming in 1984, the Seattle-based group has performed throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil.

Its dance-oriented sound features the steel drum played in combination with a variety of other percussion instruments to create an original style reflecting the samba and reggae rhythms of northeastern Brazil, Trinidad, Jamaica and Haiti.

Dinner service featuring a sampling of Caribbean dishes starts Sunday at 5:30 p.m. at CenterStage, 1017 W. First Ave., followed by music at 7.

Tickets are $43 for food and show, $22 for show only with dessert and beverage ($15 for students with ID), available by calling 747-8243.
