------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Times are approximate but we're gonna try hard to run on schedule considering 
that this is a weeknight and not everyone can come to something that starts 
late.

Charlie and Ethan: dj before/between/after the live performances, starting 
off the evening with more traditional music but building into heavier dance 
music that exemplifies the musical dialogue between africa and the americas 
from the 70s to present.... (afro-beat, highlife, jive, afro-disco and house) 
WE'LL BE READY AS LONG AS PEOPLE WANNA DANCE.

BALANKORA: is a raleigh-based performance group that will be focusing on 
non-percussive traditional music of west africa, played on balafon, kora, and 
ngoni.
