Akpé Motion is a quartet that defies musical boundaries, weaving influences from Africa, Polynesia, the Americas, and beyond into a vibrant sonic tapestry. Their music is rooted in dialogue—between cultures, instruments, and people—creating a sound that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant. Through rhythm, voice, silence, and improvisation, Akpé Motion invites listeners on an inner journey that reflects the joy of exchange, the richness of diversity, and the power of music to connect us all.

Presented by Roswell Arts Fund, Friends of Mimosa Hall and Gardens and Steve's Live Music, the Pop-Up Concert Series brings unforgettable live music to Roswell twice a month, typically on Sundays and Thursdays. Each intimate concert experience includes wine, non-alcoholic beverages, and light snacks with your ticket—making it the perfect way to gather, unwind, and discover new sounds at Roswell River Landing.

More about Akpe Motion:

Akpé, an expression from the Togolese language, can be translated as “ Thank you.” Akpé Motion is a group of 4 musicians who share a desire to share, a desire for sonic color, a desire to emancipate themselves from the codes that limit music and thus classify, hierarchize, or even strangle it.....

Akpé Motion is a freedom lived by each individual, but at the service of the dialogue without which group music cannot be born, cannot exist, cannot emancipate itself...

Akpé Motion is a shared vision of the need for dialogue between cultures, whatever they may be! We enjoyed playing with Kanak, Madagascan, African, Polynesian, Qatari, Mexican and American musicians... because the exchange was joyful, fruitful, rich in sounds, shared smiles and the desire to get to know each other better...

Akpé Motion is a shared desire to show that music is part of the cultural universalism that every human being should carry as their standard. Akpé Motion is about sounds and images that we hope will reflect our desire for otherness.

Akpé Motion is the story of each individual expressed by voice, by instrument, by body in different tenses to encourage the listener to enter our inner journey, a journey that sometimes passes from sound to image, from image to sound, without forgetting the silences on which our music also feeds.
