Broadly speaking, this spring the AB offers you quite a bit more than simply pop or rock or jazz or chanson... 'World Music' is still the widely used term. Take a look below to see what exciting, enriching excursions that could provide:
12/3 Souad Massi + Jawhar: Arabic poetry and a superb songstress.
16/3 Kel Assouf: More robust Touareg desert-blues-rock. Kel Assouf is here for his CD launch.
18/3 Buraka Som Sistema: Kuduro party in tha AB barrack! Final attack! Sold out!
21/3 La Yegros: Neo cumbia party; new CD Magnetismo; new spring!
27/3 BRDCST with Mbongwana Star, a real mini-festival as glorious closer!
