That’s where the similarities end. Mucca Pazza’s original genre-bending compositions are inspired by everything from surf rock to Stravinsky. Then there are the brightly colored\, mismatched thrift-shop get-ups\, a squad of absurdist cheerleaders\, and implausible instrumentation that includes electric guitars\, accordions\, violins\, and even a cello. A darling of Chicago’s underground music scene since 2004\, Mucca Pazza has performed at Lollapalooza\, Lincoln Center\, the Montreal Jazz Fest\, and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series. At Purdue\, this merry band of misfits will roam campus\, providing a variety of free pop-up performances at different spaces. Fusing DIY punk aesthetics\, Balkan brass\, and marching-band maximalism\, Mucca Pazza presents an eminently danceable embrace of the absurd. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollow Manual Cinema’s Christmas Carol\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Know Before You Go\n \n \n\n\n\n \n Directions & Parking\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Program\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Generous support from\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConvos is Self-Supporting.Your Ticket Purchases and Generous GiftsPower it All! \n\n\n\n \n Learn More\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Enhance your experience\n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BUILD YOUR OWN SEASON \n \n \n PICK5 + Save \n\n Did you know that if you buy 5 shows or more (not 5 tickets)\, you save an average of 10% off single-ticket prices?

Her art spans music\, activism and politics\, creating sounddiscourses that confront structural racism\, LGBTphobia\, black feminism\, love and community affections through a critical and sensitive aesthetic. Bia defines her work as Contemporary Brazilian Music\, concepts that place her work as a political and social expression of marginalised bodies and that stem from her own experience. Musically\, her work blends elements of soul\, blues\, reggae\, funk\, R&B\, rap\, and references to Brazilian music\, dialoguing with Afro- diasporic traditions and languages. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGyedu-Blay Ambolley\n\n\n\nGyedu Blay Ambolley is a musical luminary hailing from Ghana\, West Africa\, with a staggering 29 albums under his belt. Known affectionately as the “Simigwa Do Man\,” Ambolley’s musical journey began in the vibrant port city of Sekondi-Takoradi\, in the Western Region of Ghana. His early fascination with music blossomed into a lifelong passion. From mastering his father’s flute at the tender age of eight\, to honing his guitar skills under the mentorship of “Uncle Bonku”\, Sammy Lartey and Ebo Taylor\, Ambolley’s musical odyssey has been nothing short of extraordinary. This all led to Ambolley becoming a musical life force and exploding on the scene in 1973 with a jazzy highlife sound called ‘SIMIGWA-DO’. His name has become synonymous with Simigwa music and dance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Know Before You Go\n \n \n\n\n\n \n Directions & Parking\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Program\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n PRESENTED BY\n \n \n\n\n\nCity of West Lafayette\, Purdue Convocations\, and the International Center of West Lafayette \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Support froM\n \n \n\n\n\nVisit Lafayette/West Lafayette\, Kettlehut Construction\, John Martinson Honors College\, Flora Roberts Fund\, Bowen Engineering\, Henriott Group\, IU Health\, Purdue Federal Credit Union\, Wessler Engineering \n\n\n\nBE Represented\, Christopher B.
