Whistler Summer Concert Series presents Chali 2na and the House of Vibe

Opening artist: DJ Vinyl Ritchie

With his unmistakable baritone voice and 6-and-a-half-foot charm, Chali 2na has established himself as one of hip-hop’s most celebrated and charismatic personalities. Most well-known for co-founding music groups, Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli, Chali released his debut solo album Fish Outta Water in 2009. Since then, he has toured the world ten times over with his band known as the House of Vibe and has collaborated with some of the industry’s most recognized and respected DJs and musicians. After relocating from Chicago to LA in the early 80s when he was entering his teens, he was instantly engulfed by the worlds of hip hop and graffiti. Breathing visual life into his musical past, Chali embarked on a 6-year journey to produce Against the Current, a multi-media project that combines a 5-part series of genre bending EPs with a coffee table artbook featuring his own original paintings, drawings, and photography.
