Hmmm, the new Ilgi album "Seju Veju" is pretty good. (See last few
responses...)
One of my favorite albums from last year just came out in a USA
release, and it's in a play station in the downtown Borders if you're
curious. Amadou & Mariam, "Tje Ni Moussou." A blind married couple
from Mali, who have a lot of feel of the old Stax/Volt R&B sound
to my ears. This is essentially an African rock album.

There was a recent NPR piece on Amadou & Mariam (if I'm not mistaken it
was on last weekend's "All Things Considered")

July 13-15 at Chene Park in Detroit: the Concert of Colors festival,
which claims to be America's largest free world music festival.
http://www.concertofcolors.org is the web site. As I'd mentioned,
I was thinking of going to this, mostly to see the fabulous French
band Lo'Jo on Saturday afternoon. But my calendar is too crowded.
The Polynesian band Te Vaka is also part of this festival, and
they are going to do a free promotional show on Thursday, at
Downtown Home and Garden, 7 pm, according to the listing in Current.
Te Vaka has been highly praised in Folk Roots magazine.

The free concert by Polynesian band Te Vaka has been cancelled,
according to the woman who answered the phone at Downtown Home & Garden.

Their manager called 2 days before the show to say their equipment didn't
arrive with them, so they had to cancell. Big bummer. Tho it was hard to
say how much fact stretching went on during the conversation.
There was a good crowd for the Berea College folk dancers on Tuesday
night. I just had time to drive by slowly on my way to dinner, but it
looked like everyone was having fun.
