Boubacar Traoré + Zongo Junction + DJ Awesome Tapes from Africa

Renowned Malian singer and guitarist Boubacar Traoré, prominent in the 1960s and rediscovered during the late ’80s, rolls into the Bell House behind a new LP, Mali Denhou. Prior to Traoré's set, get your Fela fix with the easygoing Afrobeat grooves of Brooklyn's Zongo Junction, and let Brian Shimkovitz move your ass with the same authority he uses to open your ears with his superb blog (and fledgling record label!), Awesome Tapes from Africa.
