MAMADOU - First Night 2007, Bangkok Paradise Happy New Year! This is it! Good ol' 2006 is just about over, and 2007 is knocking on the door. If you have never been to Boston's First Night events, maybe this is the year to give it a try. There are festivities all throughout Town, with amazing ice sculptures, music, fireworks, and more!! And, we will be there performing at the Hynes Convention Center, so come see us and dance the night away after checking out the other events! We are performing indoors, with heat (a nice way to exit from the cold of winter). For more information, check out our calendar, or check out the First Night web site. Be sure to get a First Night 2007 button and to bring your dancing shoes ;)
From the Boston Globe Calendar, 12/28/06: "Mamadou Diop’s musical career has followed an astonishing trajectory: Born in rural Senegal and raised in Dakar, Diop toured through Europe and Africa before ending up on, of all places, Massachusetts’s North Shore. Not that anyone’s complaining. Diop and his band, Mamadou, play thick, drum-heavy funk that mashes Senegalese rhythms with reggae, salsa, and soul. Never had the pleasure of joining a samba line hours before the new year? When Mamadou takes the stage at the Hynes Convention Center, you’ll have your chance. Performance from 9:30 to 11 p.m. at the Hynes Convention Center, 900 Boylston St., Boston." Starting off the year 2007, in January, Mamadou, Michelle, and several other members of A3D are off to Senegal to lend a hand to those in need. But before they go, we are having a "bon voyage" show, wishing them a happy, healthy, and successful trip. Stop by at the Bangkok Paradise on Friday, the 5th of January and join in the fun. | Come see your favorite World Music Band, MAMADOU at: SUN Dec 31 9:30 PM First Night Hynes Conventions Center 900 Boylston Street Boston, MA FRI Jan 5 9:30 PM Bangkok Paradise 90 Washington Street Salem, MA
