I thought I’d start this Wednesday off with a video! Maybe I can start a theme day called Watch This Wednesday, what do you guys think?

Well, this is a great video of The Pedrito Martinez Group performing their song “Memorias” at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (Austin, TX). The video gives you a little taste of the group’s saucy music that just makes you want to dance! If you decide you like them, come out and watch it’s show on Saturday, October 19 at Johnny D’s. This show will be the group’s BOSTON DEBUT, so obviously you can’t miss it! Check out more information on the show here and watch more of their videos here.

Hello World Music family

June will be over before you know it, so you don’t want to miss out on our last two shows this month! On June 22 we are presenting Amadou & Mariam with Crossroads Presents at the Paradise Rock Club. I have included a video above of their official music video for their song “Africa mon Afrique.” This couple is sure to bring an unforgettable show filled with bluesy guitar bits, contagious melodies and their strong voices. The very next day (June 23) Caravan Palace will be performing at Brighton Music Hall (you can check out a video of them here). This group will have you on your feet dancing to their tunes in no time.

Be sure to grab your tickets to one or both of the shows! For more information visit our website at: www.worldmusic.org.

If you didn’t know, today is NATIONAL DONUT DAY (or doughnut, whichever spelling you prefer). And what do donuts and music have in common (besides records & CDs being the same shape as donuts, oh lala)? Well you can turn to both when you’re having a terrible day and need cheering up, you can turn to both when you are celebrating and you can turn to both just because! So go out and grab some donuts, listen to your favorite playlist and try not to let this rainy Boston weather ruin your day.

So you like world music, right? Do you like Mick Jagger? Well, if you answered yes to both these questions then the article I attached is perfect for you! In the article featured on The Telegraph, Jagger discusses his favorite world music artists and it also includes some of his favorite songs at the end. Take a look, make a new playlist and maybe you’ll have the moves like Jagger (ha ha, get it).

Enjoy!

Good morning!

I hope everyone enjoyed the sunny weekend and maybe even made it to the beach to get some color! Besides the fact the my allergies where on full blast this weekend, itchy eyes and all, I did enjoy the sunny weather. The sunshine has left us behind this Monday morning but hopefully it comes back soon!

Anyway, I found this audio of Amadou & Mariam. It is a remix of their song “Coulibaly” which feature Akon. It is a great mixture of two different artists and genres. If you haven’t heard it, take a listen! The song is sure to get you ready for the day and may even help you forget that it is cloudy and rainy outside. If you dig the song, you can watch them perform in Boston at the Paradise Rock Club on June 22. Check out more information here.

Enjoy the rest of your day,

Adriana
