Sons of Kemet at Elsewhere
Tickets: $20. 16+. Show at 8 pm. 

Sons of Kemet is a London quartet whose music is a mix of jazz, funk, and Caribbean music, but also reflects the influence of hip hop. The band's latest album is an inspirational collection of songs called Your Queen Is A Reptile, where each song celebrates black women across history - like Angela Davis, Harriet Tubman, Albertina Sisulu and Doreen Lawrence - who deserve to be thought of as a queen.
