Sounds on the Shore with Mani Bahia

Riverlife’s Sounds on the Shore concert series takes place every Thursday evening throughout the summer on Shore Thing – a floating platform anchored just off Allegheny Landing on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, nestled between the iconic Sister Bridges.<br/><br/>Mani Bahia (Mah-Knee Bye-Eee-Yuh) is an American artist, musician, dj, producer, singer-songwriter, and performer from Pittsburgh. In late 2018, Mani dropped her first project, “Solstice,” featuring a collection of original acoustic tracks recorded outdoors with raw vocals describing her thoughts, reflections, and feelings of the times surrounding her. Bahia performed a spoken word piece for Academy Award Winner Denzel Washington, nestled under his arm outside of August Wilson’s childhood home in Pittsburgh’s Hill District the same year.<br/><br/>Mani Bahia’s second project titled “Inferno” was released in early October of 2022. “Inferno” is majority produced, arranged, and written by Mani Bahia, but holds a few surprise production credits. You can find Bilal Abbey’s co-produced track titled “FRIZZ,” and on “LINK,” you can hear the bass of Benji from Spillage Village. Bahia’s “Inferno” will give the listener a taste of varied genres such as Alt R&amp;B, Hip-Hop, Funk, House, and Soul. The genre-bending “Inferno” is a full-bodied artistic work that expresses the grit, vulnerability, and devoted integrity Bahia has to her craft, but also the journey to finding her footing in a world where music and art are her anchor.<br/>
