De La Soul

Explore the groundbreaking legacy of hip-hop pioneers De La Soul as they perform live at the Adrienne Arsht Center. The performance takes place on Saturday, February 22, as part of the Live at Knight concert series. Since their 1989 debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul has captivated audiences with their inventive style, blending funk, soul, pop, jazz, reggae and psychedelia into a unique sound that redefined the genre.

A founding member of the Native Tongues collective, alongside A Tribe Called Quest and Queen Latifah, De La Soul inspired generations with albums like De La Soul Is Dead (1991) and Stakes Is High (1996). Their influence extends beyond music, shaping a movement that championed creativity and authenticity in hip-hop. After regaining the rights to their catalog, the group made their classic works available on streaming platforms in 2023, reigniting interest in their timeless artistry.

This performance offers a rare opportunity to experience the music of a revolutionary force in hip-hop, live on stage.
