CONCERT
Jazz à la Villette: De La Soul |
Written 30 August |
Wednesday 09 September, 20:00Grand Halle de La Villette, 75019 [map]De La Soul, Herbalizer
20 years since their first invasion, original
Native Tongues members
De La Soul are back in timely fashion to light the path of positivity through the valley of ego-driven, posturing, violence-glorifying hip hop. The
Prince Paul - produced debut "
3 Feet High and Rising" changed everything when it exploded onto the scene in 1989, changing the landscape of a genre and forcing a generation of musicians to reassess what hip hop could be.
Black Eyed Peas,
Digable Planets,
Mos Def... all names which owe much to De La Soul.
In support tonight will be London instrumental hip hop duo, long time
Ninja Tune crew members (though they're now on
K7) and progressors of the genre,
The Herbaliser, tonight featuring the sublime voice of Jessica Darling.
