African Music Concerts Week of Jun 6 - Jun 12
Wed, Jun 9
Angelique Kidjo
Angelique is the only African woman that makes repeated appearances. She seems to be vying for Baaba Maal's title of hardest working musician. This is probably the sixth time she's been in town in the last 10 years or so. Recently she opened for Dave Matthews so her approach to crossing over with a world sound is starting to take hold. Come out and see her up close on a big stage singing world afropop from Benin.
Fri, Jun 11
Prince Diabaté
Always busy in the studio, either producing the work of others, his own or forming new bands, the Jimi Hendrix of the kora returns for a local show. This is a mixture of electric and acoustic work featuring new music that comes straight from Guinea where he has been inventing the sound of his next CD. Hear it live and influence the his next CD!
