Last night I attended Meta and The Cornerstones' performance at Sullivan Hall. The Brooklyn, NY band is comprised of:
Meta Dia - Lead Singer
Raja Kassis - Guitar
Adrian Djoman - Bass
Shahar Mintz - Guitar
Daniel Serrato -Drums
Aya Kato - Keyboard
Sierra Carrère- Vocals
I was so excited to see them play, I got there early! *shock* Only to have to wait an hour before the show could start, and approximately two hours before
Meta and The Cornerstones' performed. BUT... it was absolutely worth the wait. This group is the truth! The entire night I did not dance, until they were on stage (even the waitress noticed).
The band successfully combines lyricism, sound, and "good times" *insert Jamaican accent*.
Meta's voice is intoxicating. The young Senegalese artist, does not miss a note and has an energy about him that is warm and hypnotizing. It is to no surprise that even on a rainy Sunday night, they were able to bring in a full house.
Among the eleven songs played, my favorite were: "Bahia" "Somewhere in Africa" "Buffalo-Tijani" "Silence of the Moon" and "Loneliest People."
I am really excited at the thought that Authorized Dealer Films could collaborate with the artist for a music video project. We'll keep you posted on any updates.
In a nutshell Meta and The Cornerstones : Peace, Love, and absolute wonderful Harmony.
