Paa Kow and The Jumbies, with PhDJ
The James Theater, 213 N Gilbert St, Iowa City, IA
Wednesday, July 24, 2024, 7PM Show
Tickets: $20 advance, $25 Day of show
Paa Kow is an international drumming sensation who hails from Ghana. He and his band are electric with an uplifting, dance vibe combining West African highlife, funk, jazz, and virtuosic drumming. Paa Kow has visited us many times in the past, playing several shows in Iowa City and the surrounding area. The past couple of years he has been spending most of his time between Ghana and Colorado, so we haven’t gotten to see him much. Join us at the James Theater on July 24th for a night of dancing, music, and fun!
“Having toured internationally, sharing stages with both African and American luminaries including Kojo Antwi, Amakye Dede and Victor Wooten, Ghana born drummer and composer, Paa Kow, (pronounced Pah-Ko), blends rhythm and artistry from his home with jazz and African roots creating his own Afro-Fusion sound. Dubbed “Ghana’s most artistic drummer” (Modern Ghana), he plays a custom, hand-carved, traditionally inspired Ghanaian drum set that is the only one of its kind in the world, guaranteeing an extraordinary cultural and musical experience.”

Iowa City’s Jumbies will open for Paa Kow, and PhDJ will spin tracks all night. We hope to see you there!
We will have food trucks selling food at the venue, along with drinks available for purchase at The James Theater.
