Burnt Sugar is honored to be making our Carnegie Hall debut as a part of the inaugural Afrofuturism Festival.
This performance will be the culmination of a one-of-a-kind workshop for six rising musicians who will be featured alongside our ever-changing band that prides itself on “never playing anything the same way once.”
