AfroFolk Kicks off @ Old Town School
As you buy your Pitchfork Festival tickets today, perhaps hoping to have another chance at hearing Vampire Weekend's African rhythms (their April 6 concert at the Metro is sold out), consider checking out the Old Town School of Folk Music's spring AfroFolk series, which debuts today. Actually, you'd be crazy not to, considering that it's FREE.
Tonight, singer, guitarist and songwriter Lobi Traoré, of Bamako Mali performs with Dutch singer and guitarist, Joep Pelt, and the result is a blues-infused African jam sesssion.
Gary and Laura Maurer Concert Hall :: 4544 N Lincoln Ave. in Lincoln Square. Call 773-728-6000 to reserve the free tickets.
