Join them in bringing in 2015 with Friends, Family, DELICIOUS FOOD, Funky MUSIC, and loads of heart. The True Groove All-Stars featuring The Tomas Doncker BAND will be performing at DUET BRASSERIE on New Year’s Eve. Venue: Duet Brasserie (37 Barrow St, New York, New York 10014) “dazzling vocal and guitar patterns over a rhythm section that is like a perfect system” Ben Ratliff, NY Times. The new All-Star band includes Mamady “Djelike” Kouyate, guitar, leader Bebe Camara, vocal Eudy Fernandez, trumpet Oran Etkin, tenor sax, clarinet Sylvain Leroux, flute, Fula flute, alto sax Sam Dickey, guitar Nick Cudahy, bass Andy Algire, drums Foluso Mimy, percussion. Kouyate, who now lives in NY, has reformed the Mandingo Ambassadors, updating the sound of his youth, but keeping it very close to the standard of Authenticité. He played in various bands – his own band, Les Ambassadeurs du Mandingue, being one of them – but is probably best known as the guitarist in the classic Bembeya Jazz National. Mamady Kouyate was one of those pioneers. Many of them would go on to have a profound and lasting impact on African music. Surprisingly, the results proved mesmerizing and a myriad new bands were born. Musicians were given instruments and orchestras were formed. It was a drive to create a new musical movement that would be specifically Guinean, but would include the modern wonders that were the electric guitar, the electric bass and the drumset. In the 1960’s and 1970’s, the government of Guinea engaged in a campaign known as Authenticité. Venue: Barbes(376 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY)
