Infidels Jazz, MODO-LIVE, I am the Eggplant present…
The Sun Ra Arkestra
Tuesday February 24th, 2026
The Pearl
Vancouver, BC

The Sun Ra Arkestra was founded in Chicago by Sun Ra himself in the 1950’s. One of the earliest pioneers of both the synthesizer and the Free Jazz revolution of the 1960’s, Sun Ra used the Arkestra to send a strong spiritual and musical message to the universe, making it better through positive vibrations, Afro-futurism, and music.

In 2025, the Arkestra is known worldwide for their live shows that combine big-band swing, space-age free jazz, be-bop, singing, dancing, chanting and Afro-pageantry. The 14 piece Arkestra has been at the forefront of Afrofuturism since its inception and has received Grammy Nominations for its recent albums Lights on a Satellite and Swirling.

The Arkestra has only performed in Vancouver a handful of times in its 70+ year history, and Infidels Jazz & MODO Live are proud to be presenting this legendary ensemble at the Pearl on Feburary 24th
