Genesis Owusu – Red Star Wu's Pirate Radio Tour
Ghanaian-Australian is not a combination American music has much room for, which is part of why this artist arrived sounding unplaceable — funk, punk, rap and new wave stacked without any of them winning, over lyrics about racism and depression delivered with more energy than either subject invites. The live show is the reason people become evangelical about it: a band in matching uniforms, choreography, a performer who treats a stage as something to be used entirely rather than stood on. He built the reputation on that before most of the audience had heard the records. Highland Park's upstairs hall is smaller than his usual and that is the appeal. Music at 8:00 PM at 104 N Avenue 56, a Thursday. Shows that outperform their recordings by this margin generate a specific kind of word of mouth, and it moves fast.
