Celebrate Soulfully coming to California Adventure in June
Celebrate Soulfully is coming to Disney California Adventure with daily live music celebrating Black music genres from Doo-Wop to Motown next month.
From June 1 through July 4 the Philly Phonics, an a cappella vocal group, will perform snazzy, jazzy, tunes from the 1920s through today. Five & Dime will also stylishly sing and swing 1920s and ‘30s tunes with brass and sass.
In the evening, head to the Hollywood Backlot to enjoy the summer vibes of this special block party, featuring live musical acts seven nights a week.
In addition, the “Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure,” a touring exhibit that illustrates the legacy and dynamic history of jazz, will be heading to the Downtown Disney District from June 1 to July 4.
In the exhibit Joe Gardner – musician, mentor, and star of Disney and Pixar’s original animated film, “Soul” – takes guests on a musical tour across America, showcasing the rich history of jazz along the way.
As a tribute to a musical art form that was originated by African Americans, the exhibit illustrates the many different cultures and creators who influenced this evolving genre. Walt Disney Imagineering partnered with cultural institutions and subject matter experts to bring this story to life.
The exhibit will be located in the building adjacent to Star Wars Trading Post.
