Internationally known and multi-lingual jazz vocalist, composer, and teacher Akua Allrich will bring the musical experience of a lifetime to Beyu Caffe tonight for 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.Consistently sold out, Allrich merges a variety of sounds and genres into one listener experience, pulling from her roots in blues, soul, rhythm and blues, jazz, and pan-African music. Often compared to legends Nina Simone, Miriam Makeba, Bob Marley, and Oscar Brown, Jr., Allrich is a DC-native educated at Howard University who was brought up in a musical family (her father, Agyei Akoto, was a founding member of the jazz group, Nation, and recorded two albums during Allrich's youth.)
