Following the big success of the previous acts in June, September and November 2018, AWEN (aka Lucille Kante), founder of RAGE by AWEN is happy to announce the fourth edition in her sell-out Tribute Series.
This 30 January, the RAGE by AWEN Tribute Series will honour Ray Charles – singer, songwriter, genius musician and composer. Ray Charles was one of the pioneers of soul music. By combining blues, rhythm and blues and gospel, he created a new sound and influenced artists such as Stevie Wonder, John Legend and even the Pink Floyd.
“The hit records he made for Atlantic in the mid-50’s mapped out everything that would happen to rock ‘n’ roll and soul music in the years that followed” said Joe Levy, music editor of the Rolling Stones. What to expect – From “I Got a Woman” to “Georgia on my Mind” to “What I Say”, three soulful singers and a five-piece band (yes we have a sax this time!) will revisit Ray Charles’ legacy and take you to Arkansa! Be ready, be there!
