Groovin'


After the success of last weeks Global Grooves event, I thought I'd post about the rest of the schedule, beginning tonight with Pistolera. They are a Latin-alt quartet with traditional Mexican influences, and they're reputed to create a kicking dance beat. Pistolera performs at 7:30 p.m. in the Perelman Theater. Next Thursday, the 24th, the Boban i Marko Markovic Orkestar brings its Balkan brass sound to the stage, and on August 21st (if you can wait that long) there will be an African tribute to James Brown called "Still Black, Still Proud." Tickets are $20-25 and can be purchased at the Kimmel Center box office, or online at http://www.kimmelcenter.org/.
