The Triple Door’s Musicauarium is launching its new Afrocentric series Thursday night with Kane Mathis’ band Sahel and DJ Selecta Jigsy.
This sounds like a great new series, so I hope you can get out and support this show – and subsequent Thursday-night shows. More info available at the Triple Door’s Afrocentric page.
Here are some details from an e-mail from the Triple Door: “The goal of this weekly is to foster a sense of community in the World music scene here in Seattle and to offer a weekly gathering place for those involved in or fans of World music in the region. We believe that Seattle has a thriving World community and are excited to bring the Musicquarium into the fold. The Triple Door itself has long-since been an avid supporter of African music, culminating in King Sunny (& his African Beats) joining with KEXP last June to deliver the very first live radio broadcast from our stage.”
They also plan to pair Afrocentric Musicquarium events with main-stage shows, beginning with Bassekou Kouyate show March 16.
