Candlelight Tribute to Neo-Soul and Hip-Hop Favorites
What is the difference between neo-soul and hip-hop music? It’s a difficult question to answer. Let’s just say hip-hop came first. Starting small at a Bronx party in 1973, hip-hop gave the world 2Pac, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, and Eminem. And artists like Maxwell, Lauryn Hill, and D’Angelo came along with songs influenced by hip-hop but more inspired by soul and R&B.
This one-of-a-kind Candlelight concert brings a setlist rich in soulful beats and rhythm but presents it in the classical form. Discover what happens when Childish Gambino’s “Redbone”, The Weeknd’s “Earned It”, and John Legend’s “Ordinary People”, among others, are performed by the DIVISI’s Amp’d String Quartet surrounded by a sea of candles.
Immerse yourself in unconventional music in a more traditional form in Las Vegas. A Candlelight tribute to neo-soul and hip-hop favorites translates instrumental tracks and jazzy sounds on strings. Fall under the spell of iconic hits during a spellbinding 60-minute performance. What’s more, with the concert starting at 8:30 pm, why not book a pre or post-show meal?
