Freetown Collective
As part of the Social Distancing Festival tune in to Freetown Collective’s live online concert series. Running every week until the first week of September, the genre-bending six-piece band from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago will be hosting online concerts which will also feature guest musicians and spoken word poets and live interactive sessions.
Undergirded by a philosophy and belief that all persons are worthy of love and dignity, the music of Freetown Collective often seeks to explore themes related to what it means to be human. Mixed up in their living sound you will hear hip hop, soca, blues, trap, the 80’s … but more than anything, you will hear their hearts. Dive into their galaxy of harmony and melody, music and philosophy, good vibes and, over everything else, love.
COVID-19 has severely disrupted the band’s live performance schedule, which include the cancellation of international tours in North America and Europe in 2020. The disruptions come hot on the heels of the band’s latest single with renowned DJ Private Ryan entitled “Feel The Love” which has occupied the #2 spot on Apple Music’s Top 100 songs (in Trinidad and Tobago) list for 4 weeks in February and March 2020.
