Transparent Productions, in collaboration with the House of Musical Traditions, is pleased to announce the Friday, February 27th performance of The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at @ Contradiction Dance, in Takoma Park, Maryland. This ensemble celebrates its 36th year in existence, a now 8-year Black History Month tradition of a DC-area Transparent-presented performance, and the release of “Mama’s House: 35th Anniversary CD Project.”, recorded Live at Sangha.

The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble (EHE) was formed 36 years ago. Kahil El’Zabar is the founder of the band and led its first performance in Chicago, in 1973, the year following his return from the University of Ghana. His goal was to combine concepts of African American music making with the earlier roots of traditional African music, yet make it something new. After 36 years, this legendary band is still serving the people worldwide with their special brand of 21st century Griot music. The current band consists of the young trumpet titan, Corey Wilkes, along with Chicago Saxophone legend, Ernest Khabeer Dawkins and the award winning multi percussionist, vocalist, and composer Kahil El'Zabar. EHE’s music conjures a spiritual journey to the inner self, spanning time through multiple expressions that transcend styles and genres, while exhibiting personal virtuosities in making music. Their music has enormous history and incredible love. Aluta Continua!!!...The Ethnic Heritage Ensembleremains a healing force for today’s world. As with all Transparent shows,100% of the proceeds goes directly to the artists.
