Who: Euforquestra: Originally from Iowa City, Iowa, having recently relocated to Fort Collins, Colo., Eufórquestra (pronounced "yoo-fohr-keh-struh" -euphoria+orchestra) has been touring more than ever and is continuing to take its progressive, genre-crossing afro-jazz-funk fusions to new horizons. Emerging as a musical powerhouse, Eufórquestra is quickly spreading its self-proclaimed “Afro-Caribbean-Barnyard-Funk;” a unique, rhythmic blend of sound, integrating such genres as Afrobeat, Reggae, Afro-Cuban, Samba, Soca, Funk, Salsa, and Dub. Eufórquestra’s music appeals to anyone and everyone, with a sound that “explodes, dances and melts in your ear with sheer bliss” (Chris M. Slawecki; AllAboutJazz.com). As percussionist and lead vocalist Matt Grundstad puts it, "Eufórquestra just wants to make people dance.”
When: 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, July 10
Where: Weatherdance Fountain Stage outside the Sheraton Iowa City Hotel in Downtown Iowa City. Bring your own lawn chairs to be the most comfortable. Seating on City Plaza is limited.
