Description
Kaju Barfi presents a fusion of beatboxing mixed with Indian classical music, Bollywood, and familiar cover songs that can be enjoyed by a wide range of audiences from different musical backgrounds. The group is led by Shivaraj Natraj, a.k.a. the Konnakol Beatboxer, who has represented India at the world vocal conference, La Voce Artistica, in Ravenna, Italy and also has appeared on Indian national television multiple times. The group includes a male and female vocalist, a Carnatic violinist, and a pianist.
The Longfellow Summer Festival is a tradition nearly as old as the national historic site itself. Join us in celebrating our 50th anniversary in 2022! This annual festival brings music, poetry, and community to the East Lawn of the Longfellow House on Sunday afternoons through the summer. The 2022 Summer Festival will kick off on Sunday, June 5. All events are free and open to the public.
The series is co-sponsored by the Friends of Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters, the New England Poetry Club, and Berklee College of Music.
