Town of Wake Forest issued the following announcement on Feb. 18.
The Wake Forest Renaissance Centre, 405 S. Brooks St., will welcome the “Sons of Mystro” on Thursday, March 24, at 7 p.m.
Born in South Florida to a Jamaican father and Barbadian mother, brothers Malcolm and Umoja learned to play violin through South Florida’s public school system and later attended Dillard High School for the Performing Arts. Together, they form the “Sons of Mystro.” Accompanied by a DJ and a drummer, the dynamic duo play over 10 different genres of popular music, using the violin instead of their voices to express a song's lyrics.
Reflecting their Caribbean roots, the Sons of Mystro have graced the same stage with reggae and dancehall veterans such as Marcia Griffiths, John Holt, Ken Boothe, Dobby Dobson, Freddie McGregor, Frankie Paul, Barrington Levy, and artists from the now generation such as Mr. Vegas, Beenie Man, Romain Virgo, Etana. Many of these artists have expressed amazement at the depth and variety of their musical selections and their innovative and artistic arrangements.
