SUMMARY:The Seshen, Con Brio and Bells at the New Parish    Host:Kinfo
 lkz
DESCRIPTION:The New Parish, myKinfolkz.com and SanfokaEvents.com are e
 xcited to announce The Seshen, Con Brio and Bells Oct. 19th, 2012 conc
 ert hosted by Kinfolkz at the New Parish in Oakland, California. The N
 ew Parish, a popular intimate Oakland venue, books nationally known ba
 nds, comedians and Bay Area based artists that have local appeal. Sinc
 e it's January 2010 opening, acts like Mos Def, Dave Chappelle, Meshel
 l Ndegeocello, Goapele, Lauryn Hill, Ra Ra Riot, Kid Sister, and Eleph
 ant Man have performed on The New Parish’s stage. You can now add Th
 e Seshen, Con Brio and Bells to the list of distinguished artists that
  have been invited to the grace this favored space.\nTHE SESHEN\n\nThe
  Seshen is a 7-piece Bay Area-based band whose songs mix live and elec
 tronic elements. Their music utilizes electronic textures to suggest c
 omplex emotions and vivid imagery but also to blur the distinction bet
 ween the abstract and the familiar. The Seshen takes influences from e
 lectronic music, hip-hop, pop, R&B, dub, and indie rock to create beat
 -driven compositions with a strong emotional core. The band consists o
 f bassist/producer Aki Ehara, drummer Chris Thalmann, keyboardist Mahe
 sh Rao, percussionist Mirza Kopelman and synchronizer/sampler Kumar Bu
 tler, who provide the sonic backdrop for vocalists Lalin St. Juste and
  Akasha Orr. Songs are created and performed by bassist/producer Aki E
 hara, drummer Julian Pont, keyboardist Mahesh Rao, percussionist Mirza
  Kopelman and synchronizer/sampler Kumar Butler. Driving beats laced w
 ith Afro-Caribbean percussion, thick bass lines, rich keyboards and te
 xtured electronic sampling provide the foundation for lyricists Lalin 
 St. Juste and Akasha Orr, whose dreamy vocals create an ethereal sonic
  landscape.\n\n\nCON BRIO\n\nPowered by the strikingly soulful vocals 
 of Xandra Corpora, San Francisco's Con Brio (\"with vigor, or spirit\"
 ) blends old-school grit with new-school sophistication for a sound th
 at's wholly their own. The instrumentation is timeless: saxophone and 
 trumpet roll over thick organ grooves while electric guitar, upright b
 ass and drums keep heads nodding and the dance floor moving. A lesser 
 singer could be forgiven for getting lost in the mix, but Corpora stan
 ds out. Her rich and powerful voice is the first thing to grab you, bu
 t it is the raw honesty and sincerity of the lyrics that stay with you
  long after the club goes dark or the record stops spinning.\n\nBELLS\
 n\nBlending heavy percussion, soulful vocal harmonies, and thoughtful 
 arrangements Bells has arrived at a sound that is uniquely theirs. Alt
 hough they are a new group, they are quickly drawing an audience with 
 diverse musical tastes. Birthed from the imaginations of singer-percus
 sionist Sandra Lawson-Ndu, and bassist-singer Doug Stuart, the songs a
 re brought to life with the help of Derek Barber on guitar and vocals,
  and Geneva Harrison on drums, percussion, and vibes. They are in the 
 process of recording their first studio album, but have been raising e
 yebrows with their three home recorded demos.\n\nmyKINFOLKZ.com repre
 sents world-class artists and manages national and international stage
 s.\n\n\nFor more information visit https://trueskool.com/events/the-se
