Black Violin Hits Omaha

Black Violin, the groundbreaking hip hop duo from Fort Lauderdale, brings their electrifying blend of classical strings and modern beats to Omaha. Comprising classically trained violinists Kevin Sylvester (Kev Marcus) and Wilner Baptiste (Wil B), the duo has captivated audiences worldwide with their genre-defying performances. Expect an energetic show featuring their signature covers of hip-hop classics and original compositions, often joined by DJ SPS and drummer Nat Stokes.

The duo rose to fame after winning Showtime at the Apollo and performing with Alicia Keys at the Billboard Awards. They have since toured with the likes of Mike Shinoda and opened for Wu-Tang Clan, while also releasing acclaimed albums like *Stereotypes* and *Take the Stairs*. Their shows are known for breaking down musical barriers, offering a fresh perspective on what the violin can do.

Sylvester has said their mantra is to engage the audience to look at things from a different perspective. The duo's performance in Omaha will embody that ethos, fusing classical technique with hip-hop energy for a unique concert experience.
