When the sou nds transform the air and the listener. This record transports the listene r into the heart of the music of Mdou Moctar. The blending of intention an d motivation creates a burst of sound that embraces and shakes and invites one to dance! It invites one to breathe. It invites one to be in solidari ty with the music. It invites one to be in touch with the human condition. What does it mean to be free in these times? Can the world be liberated f rom the colonial mindstate that has caused such harm and mistrust? Can we mourn our losses yet build anew to form something more astounding\, more f antastic? Funeral For Justice says we can. \nA sound that carries weight m akes an impact. A sound that carries time transcends time. We are not only listening to music but we are living through it. We are living with it. W e are living in it. The artist sees history and makes poetry from it for t he present. Mdou Moctar’s Funeral For Justice requests your presence. Sh ow up open to the celebration of life\, loved as it should be loved. Exper ience the exaltation and exuberance. The words speak of ascension\, awaren ess\, sorrow\, apathy\, knowing\, and growth. The guitars speak of power\, energy\, jubilation\, transcendency\, immediacy\, and tradition. The drum s and percussion mark the pulse of now as well as a timeless dance that in volves us all\, as it did those that came before us. The wires that carry the message feel alive with fire and purpose\, explosive with possibility. This “funeral” is an acknowledgment. This “funeral” is abundant. This “funeral” overflows into the street filled with dance. This “fu neral” stretches late into the night\, kicking up the dirt\, with the hu m of a generator\, an ever present member of the rhythm section. This “f uneral” is a clarion call for reason and a belief that change is possibl e. \nSo join Mdou Moctar in this funeral for justice\, knowing rebirth is possible. A new justice is possible. With your voice\, your heart\, your d ance\, your stomp\, a new justice is born. Mdou Moctar welcomes you with j oy and open arms. Be here. Feel here and do\, alongside this music.

Sing\, heckle kindly\, or just sit back with a burger and a drink and watch strangers become friends over a shared chorus. Zero singin g ability required — genuinely.\n\n**The Plan:**\n\n• 8:30 PM — Meet at The Social (1078 Tunnel Rd). Look for the Asheville Transplants group — we'll grab a cluster of tables before the room fills up.\n\n• 8:30 –9:00 PM — Order food and drinks\, say hello\, and start scheming song choices.\n\n• 9:00 PM — Karaoke kicks off. Put your name in whenever you're ready (or never — no pressure).\n\n• 11:30 PM — Official wrap . Karaoke runs until 1:00 AM\, so stay as long as you like.\n\n**What to K now:**\n\n• No cover charge for karaoke — everyone pays for their own food and drinks.\n\n• The Social is a full bar and kitchen (burgers are their thing)\, open until 2:00 AM on Saturdays. Come hungry.\n\n• Non-al coholic options are available — feel free to grab a soda or not drink an ything at all. No pressure either way.\n\n• Free on-site parking in the lot\, so you're not hunting for street spots.\n\n• It's on Tunnel Road i n East Asheville — about 10 minutes from downtown\, easy drive or ridesh are.\n\n• Singing is completely optional. Some of us are here purely to applaud.\n\n**Why This Event:**\n\nKaraoke is one of the fastest ways to s kip past small talk — nothing bonds a table like collectively deciding s omeone has to do "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Whether you just landed in Asheville or have been here a while\, come solo or bring a friend. We'll s ave you a seat and a spot in the queue.
