Amelia joins as a guest artist in this live concert journey through heritage, rhythm, and reimagined African expression… Internationally acclaimed singer, multi-instrumentalist, and culture bearer Okaidja Afroso returns to Portland for the first time in over seven years with Home to the Water—the city’s debut of his sweeping Ancient African Wisdom Trilogy. Blending indigenous West African traditions with contemporary global influences, Okaidja delivers a visceral, uplifting performance that flows through rhythm, song, and dance. Joined by stellar musicians from Ghana and Madagascar, this one-night-only concert invites audiences on a powerful journey through heritage, connection, and the cycles of nature and human life.
