With a re-energized cover of reggae legend Jimmy Cliff’s “Universal Love,” Kwame Binea announces in no uncertain terms where he’s coming from on his debut album, Roots Rock N Universal Love, a conscious mix of rock, funk and soul produced by Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid.
"Go beyond religious boundaries, and beyond political boundaries, beyond commercial boundaries, and beyond sexual boundaries, beyond racial boundaries," Binea sings.
Born in west London and raised in west Africa, Binea will take you beyond all soul-crushing boundaries this week in Plaza Midwood.
