Thursday, August 11th, BarnArts hosts the Boston-based world music ensemble Zili Misik at Feast and Field for their weekly Music on the Farm Series. All female, Zili performs an acoustic & electronic fusion of roots music of the African diaspora. With captivating sounds that evoke the African continent, Zili retraces routes of forced exile and cultural resistance through diasporic rhythm and song.

Feast and Field is hosted by a collective of Farmers; Fable Farm, Eastman Farm and Kiss the Cow Farm, and located at the Fable Farm Fermentory Orchard, at 1525 Royalton Turnpike in Barnard, VT.

Doors open at 5:30 when food and drink is available from Fable Farm and ice cream is available from Kiss the Cow Farm. Music begins at 6:00 PM.
