Put on your dancing pants, and join Pink Hawks as they set the floor on fire.

Pink Hawks — a beat orchestra with Afrobeat and Ethio-jazz influences — is headlining the penultimate show of the Lagoon Concert Series on Wednesday, July 17.

The group is known for its improvisation at shows and has garnered comparisons to Fela Kuti’s Afro-beat, Mulatu Astatke’s Ethiopiques Jazz, Sun Ra’s melodically off-the-rails piano playing, and the languid, sonically adventurous atmospheres of Yo La Tengo.
