Summer’s best concerts, from Animal Collective to Youssou N’Dour 
By: David Malitz

The current musical landscape is more fractured than ever. No single genre dominates the airwaves or sales charts, so why not try a little bit of everything in your summer concertgoing this year? Ride through the quiet storm of seductive R&B by Sade and take in a show by indie-psychedelic breakout stars Animal Collective. Check out the rousing rebel-country of Eric Church and be entranced by standout Senegalese vocalist Yousson N’Dour. Or simply break out a blanket and enjoy whatever band happens to be playing at your local free concert series. In the year’s Summer Concert Guide we highlight some of the season’s best shows, from rock to hip-hop, country to jazz. Find your favorites, but be sure to check out something new as well. There’s a lot of music out there. Read about and listen to some of our top picks after the jump.

Senegalese superstar Yousson N'Dour, Dominican American up-and-comer Prince Royce and Mexican veterans Mana bring plenty of diverse sounds to the area this summer. 06/02/11 >> go there
