Beco & BaoBao

I am correcting my error on location for BaoBao Fest in Denver, Thurs: Its at Den School of the Arts (see below for full details). Meanwhile, remember:

Beco Do Choro Wed (tonight) 6:30-9:30 @ St Julien Hotel (9th&Walnut, Bldr)
Francisco Marques, Joao Junquiera, Kailin Yong, Dexter Payne. Brazilian all the way.

After 9:30 I will join my students (Naropa Afropop Ensemble) backing Ghanain singer/writer/drummer Kofi Mawuko at the free BaoBao event at the Broker (30th&Baseline,Bldr) They made me very proud with their live radio performance just last Saturday at KGNU, and will also perform Thurs and Sat. Come to the Broker, or visit www.baobaofest.org to find out what the 6th annual festival is all about.
