Raveena\u00a0 – Westlake Park, Seattle\u00a0 –\u00a0 July 11, 2025<\/p>\n
Downtown Summer Sounds, the organization behind these concerts gets major rotten tomatoes for adding an unannounced warmup act for the featured Raveena.\u00a0 It was some DJ whose talent was pressing buttons on his pre-recorded device, what a laugh.\u00a0 But the worst part was the punishingly loud over-the-top bass, rendering my experience – considering the need to get a close enough position for a decent sketch – majorly unpleasant.\u00a0 And who needed this pandering mediocrity?\u00a0 This was a Raveena crowd, put unnecessarily on hold.\u00a0 OK, on to Raveena, barefoot and in motion, who combines influences from her Punjabi heritage with smoove R&B.\u00a0 Her ensemble includes two dancers who accompany her entrance with swirling colorful flimsy fabrics.\u00a0 Raveena, who occasionally grabs guitar, has a lone musical accompanist who rotates between keys and guitar (or is it bass).\u00a0 So there seems to be some recorded soundtrack component for the performance.\u00a0 And it’s not like the bass got turned down significantly.\u00a0 I quickly got the idea, so after the sketch rudiments were on paper I jostled my way out of the crowd to camp in position for the autograph.<\/p>\n
