The GroovaLottos' comic 'Xmas Morning' and their Afrobeat-styled ode to Kwanzaa, '7 Candles,' bring some funk and soul to the season. While '7 Candles' offers three versions/mixes of the song, Tiktok has gravitated toward the 'Bembe Mix' as a favorite background for dance videos.

The Classic Jazz Visions Concert Series returns to the Main Stage on Saturday, October 1, 2022, with a public welcome at 6:30pm and showtime at 7:30pm.
