Lubber Run Summer Concerts - Bongo District
Overview
From the melting pot of cultures that blend in the Washington D.C. area, emerges a fusion of musical genres that is shaking dance floors and captivating music-lovers attention; they are known as the Bongo District.
Their mix of reggae, funk, and ska spiced up with a latin flavor has earned them local recognition becoming on of D.C.s most sought after bands, playing as regular acts in top venues such as The Bullpen and the Bluebeat Concert Series; as well as opening for established South American artists Los Cafres, Los Rabanes and Desorden Publico among others. Their unique blend of popular covers and original music makes their live act appealing to audiences of all ages, taking them on a trip through passages of relaxing reggae music to full blown stadium-chant percussive parties. With a three-hour-plus repertoire under their belt, they are able to adapt to any size and style of venue without losing the enthusiasm that characterizes their live show; be it an outdoor stage, live venue, or a small local business, the entertainment is guaranteed.
