Brother Ali
presented by Lovenoise
City Winery Nashville & Lovenoise Presents Brother Ali live on Wednesday, November 18th at 7:30pm!
Brother Ali has built two decades of Hip Hop on saying what needs saying. Ten albums, mentorship from Chuck D and Rakim, spots on Fallon and Conan, and a feature in Rolling Stone's 40th anniversary edition tell you where he stands as an artist. Source Magazine's Hip Hop Quotables put his writing on record. His advocacy for marginalized communities has put him on government watch lists and led to more than one arrest for civil disobedience.
He's carried the same conviction to Coachella and to the Nobel Peace Prize Forum, where he delivered the keynote address, and to lecture halls at Princeton and Stanford. He also studies Islamic Spirituality under some of the tradition's most respected teachers, leads worship and classes, and co-founded The Gemali Project to open that tradition to converts and seekers. He now hosts The Travelers Podcast from his home in Istanbul.
Nashville knows what it means to sit close to a great performance, and this room delivers it. Our intimate concert venue setup keeps the focus on the stage while our wine program and kitchen work in the background, so the evening reads as dinner and a show rather than two separate errands.
This is a Hip Hop night unlike most on our fall calendar.
