    Journey of a Braid 

    6-7pm
  • Live Jazz / Lando and the Infinite Sadness

    Playing instrumental hip-hop jazz original tunes, Lando & the Infinite Sadness create an alternate world of their own, of gloomy polyphonic dissonance later accompanied by avant-garde moments of vividly colored peace. Through what feels like a score of their lives, their music takes us on an experimental journey of self-discovery, darkness, euphoria, and beyond.
