Gangbe Brass Band: an Original West African Sound
Jack Brass Band, a seven-piece New Orleans-style crew playing outside in the Cedar's courtyard could be heard from the parking lot where I'd left my car.

Eventually close to 570 of them streamed into the music venue, many not sure what to expect, not familiar with Gangbé's sound.
