Cascadia '10 is the echo of Afrobeat in the Pacific Northwest. A sound resonating from Nigeria to the Emerald City. A small army of 11 experienced musicians bringing hypnoticly funky music to hips and feet. The members of C'10 also perform in other groups such as Marmalade, Soul Senate, TubaLuba, & Fascination Nation; and have performed in groups such as Swamp Mama Johnson, Altered States of Funk, and Sly Lothario.
.
C'10 has opened for for international acts such as Sierra Leone's Refugee All-Stars and Garaj Mahal. They are currently playing various NW venues such as Nectar, ToST Lounge, and the Seamonster.
.
The music of Cascadia '10 consists mostly of original pieces, but it inherits from the rich legacy of Fela Kuti, Femi & Seun Kuti, Tony Allen, and the wellspring of music from Nigeria and throughout western Africa. But first, we are Cascadians.
