Sila (afro-beat) | SF’s Yerba Buena Gardens Festival 2023 (May 6 – Oct. 28)

A Native of Kenya, Sila is known for spearheading a polyrhythmic renaissance and establishing a reputation for dynamic live performances. With lyrics in both English and Swahili, Sila’s sound is a funky fusion of African rhythm, funk, soukous, afrobeat, and reggae, influenced by artists like James Brown, Prince, Otis Redding, and Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti.

In 2010, Sila won the coveted NAACP Image award for “Outstanding World Music Album” and the San Francisco Weekly music award for “Best International Act.”
