The best Modern World Music returns to the open air amphitheater at North Beach Bandshell.   “Best Concert Series” – you know it!

Vieux Farka Toure: The son of the revered Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure, Vieux has stepped out from his late father’s massive shadow. Ali Farka Toure proved – in case anyone ever doubted it – that the soul of the blues could be found in West Africa. Vieux is turning heads with a more radical idea: that those western Saharan roots can be heard in everything from the jam band scene to Jamaican dub.  The Six Degrees Records’ star makes his Florida debut with this concert.

Locos Por Juana have been traveling the world since their 2009 Grammy Nomination for their critically acclaimed album, La Verdad, headlining festivals and events throughout the US and Europe. BBC America named them the Best New Latin Rock Band, Premio lo Nuestro nominated them for Best Urban Band and they struck gold in Premios Paoli Puerto Rico for Best Record. The band was featured on LA’s taste-making radio station KCRW. Jumping up the Billboard Charts they electrify audiences with their unique mashup of AfroLatino rhythms, heavy on the cumbia, with funk, dub and reggae. Locos Por Juana will release a new EP, Evolucion, in May 2010.
