Nosaj Thing, Kimbra, and Bells Atlas will perform at the Bandshell as part of BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival, presented by BRIC in partnership with Prospect Park Alliance.

Nosaj Thing, a.k.a. the L.A.-based Korean-American DJ/producer Jason Chung, will transform the Bandshell into a pulsing, ecstatic dancefloor with “music that evokes at once the infinite blackness of deep space and the curving, gleaming chrome that moves through it” (Pitchfork). His latest album, Parallels from 2017—a comeback record of sorts made after his gear and years of work were stolen— is a “curvilinear and sinuous 30-minute odyssey from one of the most consistent and daring producers working” (Onion AV Club).

Last year Kimbra gave us Primal Heart, “a slick electronic pop album teeming with sharp hooks” (Rolling Stone) that showcased the killer R&B delivery that has made the New Zealander an in-demand collaborator with the likes of Snoop Dogg and Gotye. Her music, though pop-focused, is boundaryless in its own way; her diverse influences encompass Prince, Björk, Minnie Riperton, and Jeff Buckley.

Bells Atlas’ Afropop futurism is a sound “pretty easy to get lost in … lush harmonies fill your ears … their groove is anything but ordinary." (Okayplayer) The enchanting Oakland five-piece has been making waves with its latest release, the aptly titled The Mystic.

Salif Keita and Courtnee Roze will perform at the Bandshell as part of BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival, presented by BRIC in partnership with Prospect Park Alliance.

Last year’s outstanding Un Autre Blanc reaffirmed Salif Keita as “the most adventurous, gloriously soulful male singer-songwriter in Africa” (Guardian UK). Known as “the Golden Voice of Africa,” Keita was ostracized as a child for his albinism and rejected by his family for pursuing music. He found early success as a member of two iconic bands, the Rail Band and Les Ambassadeurs, before moving to Paris and launching a high-profile solo career in the mid-'80s. Now celebrating his 70th year on the planet, he returns to Brooklyn for his first time back at the Bandshell in more than a decade as a living legend of world music.

The djembe and conga virtuoso Courtnee Roze is a bandleader, producer, lyricist, writer, and percussionist whose catalogue of collaborators includes Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Cirque du Soleil, J. Cole, and Lachanze. She has performed on storied stages both grand and intimate—from Carnegie Hall and the Apollo Theater to Joe's Pub and National Sawdust—and won the Afropunk’s 2017 Brooklyn Battle of the Bands.
