Inspired by her parents’ refugee journey, Unpromised Land explores the complicated realities of migration and displacement. The song examines the discrepancy between the promise of a new beginning and the lived experience of arriving in a country where newcomers are often expected to assimilate, remain grateful, and stay silent.
Moving beyond a personal family story, the song engages with broader questions of migration and national identity, asking who gets to define what it means to belong.
The evening will feature a live performance of Unpromised Land and other songs from KASHIN’s growing body of work, followed by a moderated conversation about the ideas and creative process behind the music, with plenty of opportunity for audience questions.
Guests will also be invited to enjoy a selection of appetizers and spend time connecting with one another before and after the performance.
Come for an intimate evening of music and storytelling as KASHIN brings the world of Unpromised Land to life.
Featured musiciens : Edelaine Blaine on Bass, Kevin Ledlow on Drums and Ms. Roxanne Goodman on Keyboard.
