Toumani Diabate is here! (in a new location) + Tour Dates

Toumani DiabateBjork collaborator, kora master, and all around good guy, Toumani Diabate is here from Mali to grace NYC with two free shows today and tomorrow. Please note:

Due to threat of inclement weather Toumani Diabates Symmetric Orchestra at Rockefeller Park will be moved indoors to the Stuyvesant High School auditorium. Located at 345 Chambers Street. Just east of Rockefeller Park.

The event will start at its regularly scheduled time of 7PM, but due to indoor capacity restrictions, tickets are limited and will be distributed two per person on a first come-first served basis starting at 5PM. Doors open at 6PM.

That refers to TONIGHT's show (July 18, 2007). Tomorrow's show is also free, but in Brooklyn at Metrotech @ NOON. All tour dates below....
