AV Madison, Concert Preview >>
Get that grass-skirt-shakin' out of your system Thursday, because on Friday it'll be time to move north for a somber and entrancing sit-down with Orchestre De Tetouan. This Moroccan group offers a more overtly complex musical picture of Africa: Its strain of Andalusian music reflects the cultural smear that resulted from centuries of Africans, Arabs, and Europeans gathering around and traversing the Mediterranean Sea. Hence, their stately, resonant vocal melodies, fiddles, and percussion might recall touches of flamenco as much as they build on twisty Middle Eastern scales. In other cultural insights, the way these guys pull of that group-fez look will remind us all that Shriners were the original suburban gangsters. 09/12/09 >> go there
