Sō Percussion and Shodekeh

Stave Sessions

The adventurous percussion group Sō Percussion is joined by groundbreaking beatboxer Dominic “Shodekeh” Talifero. The contemporary music program will include a diverse range of repertoire from contemporary “classics” to new works in an “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam” (The New Yorker). 

Rooted in the belief that music is an essential facet of human life, Sō Percussion enthusiastically pursues a growing range of social and community outreach. 

Shodekeh has made tremendous musical strides as a highly adept beatboxer, vocal percussionist, and breath artist who pushes the boundaries of the human voice within and outside the context of hip hop music and culture. 

Journey into new worlds of sound with this intriguing collaboration.
