Saturdays are for music, Sundays for sleeping late.
African Music comes to Brooklyn with the African Festival featuring Konono No. 1 on Saturday, July 17.
Part of Celebrate Brooklyn, the festival serves African music, food and culture once a year.
4 bands besides Konono No. 1 will take the stage:
"Dakar heavyweights Omar Pene & Super Diamono, seminal figures in the
birth of the modern Senegalese sound, add a jolt of energy to the
proceedings, while the distinctive voice of Zimbabwean Afro-soul diva
Chiwoniso, the pan-African reggae of Meta & The Cornerstones, and
the festival horns and drums from Haiti’s Djarara bring other unique
flavors to the day."
