EBONY ROOTS is a powerful concert coming to Vancouver, celebrating music from the Black experience. The show traces a 300-year journey—from work songs and spirituals to the rise of Soul, R&B, Blues, and Motown. The program highlights the evolving emancipation and cultural impact of African Descent communities from a North American perspective.
Both entertaining and insightful, the concert is framed with intention and meaning. It is a full music experience filled with transformative songs – all accompanied by brief contextual narratives that explores how each song or artist moved the needle forward—or, at times, backward—for the Black community. These unspoken stories are more of a side show, rather than the main event, and are shared through the digital program and stage projections. Performed by a professional ensemble of B.C. artists, the concert centers Black lived experience through the centuries up to and including the civil rights movement.
Tickets are currently on sale for EBONY ROOTS. The show runs for 90 minutes, plus an intermission at Yaletown Roundhouse. Don’t miss your chance to experience a concert that will stir your soul.
