A Day of Music for the Soul

Join us on Saturday August 2, 2025 at the LEAF Global Experience for “A Day of Music for the Soul” with the Eli Yacinthe Band! The band is recent Berklee grads who play funk soul and hip hop music.

Doors: 2:00pm
Show: 2:30pm

Eli Yacinthe is a songwriter, producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader from North Carolina. He channels a wide range of influences from D’Angelo to Marcus King in his playing and writing. His Debut EP “Something Real From The Heart” is a sonic tale of love, sex, and heartbreak. Through his music, he continues to foster a community grounded in love, equality, and peace.

Currently in his seventh semester at Berklee College of Music, Eli spends most of his time between Boston, MA and North Carolina, where he performs, writes, and collaborates. His dynamic six-man live band, featuring a full horn section, brings powerful energy to the stage. Drawing inspiration from the worlds of jazz, R&B, soul, and pop, the band approaches each tune with a unit mentality, creating a unique sound that sets this large ensemble apart. Distinct flavors emerge from this group made up of some of Berklee’s finest musicians.

The event is finished.

AN URGENT LETTER FROM THE LEAF BOARD:

For nearly 30 years, LEAF Global Arts has connected people through the power of art, music, and culture. Every shared moment has been made possible because of you – our community.

The LEAF Festival is critical to funding LEAF’s larger work: providing global cultural arts programming for thousands of local youth and preserving cultures and traditions around the world.

This year, we are facing a financial crossroads: between the loss of last fall’s Festival, losing a majority of our arts education funding in 2025, and not fully recovering from COVID, the future is bleak. The upcoming LEAF Festival could be our last if we don’t come together to sustain the heart of LEAF’s mission – but we have seen what this community can do when united for a cause greater than itself.

To open the Festival experience to as many people as possible, and to rally the full spirit of LEAF, we are offering a limited number of LEAF LOVE Tickets at a significant discount.

These special tickets, offered at 30% off (our highest discount, even more so than our Early Bird pricing) are our way of ensuring everyone has a place in this story. Full-priced tickets also remain available for those with the means to give a little more to help support LEAF’s vital work.

Your presence, your voice, and your support matter more than ever right now. Join us in making this LEAF Festival one that the world will never forget and ensuring the music continues for generations to come. 

Mayani is a Maasai boy from longido Arusha. He went to boarding school at 6 years old and lost his Maasai language and tradition. Since joining the LEAF program, he has learned to sing Maasai songs, practiced the ‘jump’ tradition and wear Maasai shukas (traditional clothing). Mayani is extremely happy and is currently teaching other youth the culture.
