After a sold-out concert last December, an extensively dancing audience and frenetic standing ovations, Martha is now returning to Nica with her new program.
Martha High was on stage with James Brown for 32 years, was his longest-active singer and still tours regularly as the lead singer of the band of Maceo Parker, another long-time follower of the Godfather of Soul. Martha's merits as one of Brown's most trusted allies and as part of his historic contribution to the history of soul music are unquestionable. She accompanied him and James Brown at their acclaimed concert at Boston Garden in April 1968, the night after Martin Luther King's assassination, when Brown prevented further unrest through his sheer stage presence and positive message. Martha was also at James Brown's side on such outstanding occasions as his courageous trip to Vietnam to entertain the American troops and the Rumble In The Jungle concert in Zaire, which was attended by 60,000 people - before the eponymous fight between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali in Kinshasa. From Old School to New School, Martha High and The Soul Cookers will introduce you to their musical heritage of jazz, soul, blues, and funk and inspire you again!
