Forget all they summer's hyped artists and and reunion shows, give me Zimbabwean guitarist Oliver Mtukudzi any day. "Tuku" is another one of those random artists handed to me years ago, on a blank CD, that has since become an inspiration to me in life and work. If I can recommend one free, outdoor show this summer - especially for fan's of guitar music, global music, or simply the power of music - it's this one. Tuku is joined by "heirs to the Malian music throne Habib Koité & Bamada and Daby Touré, Yossi Fine’s funk-infused pan African approach and Extra Golden, who combine traditional Kenyan Benga with indie rock" at this, the most eclectic African festival ever. Schedule Below. All Ages.

I can't really summarize the Black Lips in my usual two word phrasing... they call it "flower punk"... I'd call it more like "post-Tom-Waits-American-roots-punk" (see, I told you I couldn't do it)... anyway they rock proper as do their supports... enjoy. All Ages.
