Events We Love :: Femi Kuti at Lincoln Center
If you’re unfamiliar with Afrobeat, a Nigerian brand of funk unlike any other, you may have been living under a rock for the past twenty years. But Femi Kuti, the son of legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, is here to drag you out from under that rock, hips shaking the whole the way.
As a part of Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing program, Femi Kuti + The Positive Force will be playing on Monday, July 12th. The performance will be preceded by a dance lesson by Maija Garcia, the associate choreographer of FELA!, the Afrobeat Broadway musical based on Femi’s father’s work. DJ duties will be handled by Rich Medina with Sahr.
The dance lesson begins at 6:30, the performance begins at 7:30.

Shows We Love :: Savion Glover @ Joyce
Can we listen to the dance? Is it possible for the audience to communicate with and thereby guide the performer? According to Savion Glover, the answer to both of these questions is yes. With SoLE PoWER, Savion Glover attempts to connect the rhythms of the sole to memories of the soul. Glover hopes to form a deeper connection with his audience members by encouraging them to blur the line between participating and being a spectator.
For three electrifying weeks, Savion Glover’s SoLE PoWER takes over The Joyce.
