Tuesday, December 31, 2024 Happy New Year! You’re invited to attend First Night—Northampton’s most beloved signature event. Since 1985, First Night Northampton has filled Paradise City with a 12-hour, family-friendly festival of the arts, culminating in a traditional ball-raising from the roof of the Hotel Northampton. Gather with friends, neighbors, and visitors at over 20 terrific downtown venues for an astounding array of entertainment presented by hundreds of talented performers.
ReBelle is a multi-talented musical force conceived in love, rebellion and the evocative musical vigor of Manou Africa and Kalpana Devi. Kalpana and Manou are musicians, composers, activists, parents and upholders of love and justice. Their powerful musicianship and mystical lead vocals are contemporary, vital and spell binding. Nothing remains the same after a ReBelle experience. If you want to dance as you dream; chant on the move; find yourself in the compelling atmosphere of origin, then come to ReBelle. They'll more than meet you there. They'll take you there. “Few bands brave the more difficult challenges of composing new, intelligent and trail blazing music... ReBelle is one such band.” Dirty Linen "Multi-lingual, multinational and multi-talented succinctly describes ReBelle." Dub Missive “ReBelle does some heavy channeling in their live shows…..When ReBelle performs, concert halls become churches, and for several hours, at least, people come together.”- Valley Advocate
