Peace & Welcome~ I'm Aïda, a Malian~Gabonese author-painter (aidatoure.com). My music is a visual Sphere whose colors dance out of my paintings which in turn find their form in the Sufi poetry I compose... Beyond the conventionally imposed divides, sacred Arts revolve around the same Center, just like us and all atoms of the Creation, it is in our innate nature to gather and to revolve in Surrender~Islam to The Divine in Her/His immense Beauty... La illa ilaha Allah ... thus do we peel ourselves off of all the fragmenting ego notions imposed upon us through unlawful systematizations that alienate us from our innate Reality which is Light itself...
"She, the Black Light" intangibly celebrates the Cosmos' transcendent Obscurity which opens the heart to contemplation of the highest form of Luminescence, the Unmanifest... Tangibly "She, the Black Light" also is a celebration of the Motherland: Africa. My first album will be available soon inshAllah... Love to all those who have opened their Eye, Ear, Heart to this tender unfolding we are at the Mercy of... All praise is due to The Most Majestic.

Leading this must see, once in a lifetime experience, will be former Arkestra member and master teacher, astronomer and musician Kelan Phil Cohran. Cohran will be accompanied by over 30 musicians, dancers, and vocalist; many Chicago legends like Maggie Brown, Aquilla Sadalla of SAMANA fame, and Bobby Irving. The audience can also look forward to dynamic performances by Malik and Cephus Cohran of Ultimate Image, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Sugar Strings, Delano O’Banion of the famed Fisk Jubilee Singers, Preacher Gay of the golden gospel family of Chicago, as well as the “Bronzeville Diva” Senebella. All converging on the Jay Pritker stage in Millennium Park, to transport willing participants to the cosmos once again. Be advised attendees will need an open mind and a willing spirit before take off.
