Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (HBE) are seven brothers from the south side of Chicago. They come from an extraordinary musical family. The band freely mix the brass band tradition with generous doses of hip hop, soul, and funk, creating an intoxicating and boisterous blend that is just barely contained. They have toured throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America playing with everyone from Prince, Mos Def , Mick Jones (The Clash), and Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz). They’ve performed at Coachella, WOMAD AU, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Sydney Opera House, and Carnegie Hall. And now, they will perform at the Soka Performing Arts Center. View their documentary film, Brothers Hypnotic, or listen to their song, “War” from the hit movie Hunger Games, and you, too, will be “hypnotized!”
