Big Noise from Nigeria

Sunday Mayhem 15 from 6:P to midnight
Big Noise from Nigeria
Hosted by: Art Crimes & Rocky Rococo
An overview of the development of Afrobeat, starting at Ground Zero: Nigeria. We?ll trace a path from Nigeria?s traditional drum and vocal music, to highlife, juju, and other styles, including Fela?s introduction of Afrobeat. And we?ll hear some modern practitioners of these styles, from both Africa and beyond. Find out more about Nigerian music! www.afropop.org and www.nigeria-arts.net. Also, thank you to Jenifer at Rock Paper Scissors for the King Sunny giveaways!
