The London-born, Lagos-raised, and New York–based audience favorite Michael Olatuja returns to Carnegie Hall Citywide with a free, Friday-night concert. As one of today’s most inventive bassists, Olatuja has worked with Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Angélique Kidjo, Shakira, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Hugh Masekela, Terence Blanchard, Joe Lovano, and many others. He’s also a major presence in the bands of Broadway, films scores of directors like Lin-Manuel Miranda, and more. In this outdoor performance, he shares selections from his acclaimed Lagos Pepper Soup album and brand-new songs that blend energetic Afrobeat, jazz, and funk into what Olatuja calls “a zesty, sonic stew that honors the ancient Xulu word ubuntu, which means, ‘we are all connected.’”
