The Meadows World Music Ensemble, under the direction of Jamal Mohamed, welcomes a living legend: avant-garde percussionist Artis the Spoonman. Since 1972, Artis has showcased his unique skills with cutlery across the globe – from the sidewalks and bars of Seattle, San Francisco, Manhattan, Sidney, London, Dublin, Munich and Singapore to the theatres of Broadway, from the stages of national and international television to the recording studios of Frank Zappa and Soundgarden. His spellbinding, faster-than-the-eye-can-track spoon playing has been a passionate rhythm enhancement for rock, fusion, folk, jazz, bluegrass, classical and uncategorizable music, virtually everywhere. Folk icon Pete Seeger called him “the best spoon player in the whole damn universe.” Artis will join the talented members of the World Music Ensemble and surprise guests for an unforgettable evening exploring music from cultures and continents across the globe.
