The Green Room sets up shop in the Bay Area for a special acoustic set from musical duo Astraogik (lead singer Charito Soriano was a finalist from the first Kollaboration SF showcase). A self described Ambient Future Soul group, their sound combines influences from neo-soul, reggae, r&b, island, hip-hop, electronic, world & indie. For this set, they put down their tech for a stripped down sound that’s just as mesmerizing.

We’re excited to announce a new digital showcase series called “The Green Room,” launching next Monday here on Kollaboration.org (and our YouTube channel). The Green Room is a callback to our annual showcases when artists would jam with each other in the green room while waiting for their turn to go on stage. Every few weeks, The Green Room will showcase an extended live set from an artist from our Kollaboration community. First up is Kollaboration Los Angeles 2015 performers Perry and Danielle. Don’t miss their set next Monday, November 30!
