African Music Concerts Week of Apr 24 - Apr 30
Wed, Mar 23 - Sat, Apr 30
The stageplay "Yellowman"
Come out to see the Pulitzer nominated play about Black-on-Black discrimination in the Gullah-Geechee culture of South Carolina's Sea Islands. The play investigates the racism that favors lighter skinned individuals over their more African looking neighbors. Love, alcohol, generational chasms and other complexities of everyday life are intricately wound into a heart-wrenching story. Highly recommended. Now extended through April 30!

Rocky Dawuni
AfroFunké hosts the roots reggae of Ghanaian star Rocky Dawuni. Rocky has been a force behind the formation of this venue and its signature Thursday night boogie ritual. His new album "Winds of Change" is the main source of the material he presents with his band The Revelation Project.

Kadiatou Sidibe
Gambian music arrived in LA for the first time a few months ago, and thanks to the Temple Bar it is back again. Kadiatou dances with Senegalese dance troupe Khaley Nguewel, but has her own band when it comes time to make music. |
