I truthfully don’t know why this group is named the Plantation All-Stars, but they are well-known for performing on Beale Street and are a decent blues band, at least judging from yesterday’s performance at the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival.

This extremely young drumline amazed audiences on the Main Street Mall during the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival. African-American drumming and drilling is an integral part of Memphis’ inner-city culture, and it is cool to see it preserved by a squad of young children who sound better than many high school drumlines.

Favor is a Memphis gospel group with an unusual line-up, consisting of voices, a saxophonist, a drummer and a conga player. This stark instrumentation lends the music a rather Caribbean flavor, and puts a lot of responsibility on the percussionists, who, fortunately, were immensely talented. Quite an exciting group.
