Coming to Pender on Friday October 17th at 8:00 pm at the Pender Island Community Hall will be ALPHA YAYA DIALLO & Guest DOURA BARRY
Guitarist and singer Alpha Yaya Diallo, from Guinea in West Africa, is one of the hottest acts on the current world music scene and one of the most inspired and inspirational artists on today’s World Beat circuit. Three time Juno Award winner, described as ‘the greatest African artist ever introduced to America’, Alpha Yaya Diallo and his band and guest Doura Barry will get you dancing on the Penders.
Tickets are $18 in advance at Talisman Books and Southridge Farm Store, $20 at the door.
If you’ve never experienced a concert by an African act such as this, do yourself a favour and drag yourself to the hall! It is extremely intoxicating & uplifting and has become one of my favourite musical styles.
