Senegal in Boston ~ Teranga

"Teranga’’ means hospitality in Wolof, but it’s more than just a word, according to Marie-Claude Mendy, who made it the name of her restaurant. In her native Senegal, it’s a way of life, an integral part of the national character and a matter of pride.

Until Teranga opened in May, Boston didn’t have a Senegalese restaurant. Teranga exhibits a particular brand of cosmopolitan vibrancy one doesn’t see that often in Boston. Does it feel like New York? Not quite. Paris? Closer. I’m… Continue

Taboo Salon is a moment of human coalescing where human and cultural barriers are expressly let down for the sake of an aggregate experience of enjoyment and exploration. Through its contagious, festive… Continue

Clube do Balanco - The kings of "Samba Rock"

I LOVE this video -- set in a used record store with album covers papered over the walls and ceiling. It's full of dance and delivered in a smooth, classic, nostalgic style. I had to share this one with you...

In the same way that the Rolling Stones payed homage to the masters of the Delta Blues, Brazilian band Clube do Balanço is re-igniting the work of the masters of… Continue

Bravo to you also for this second project.
I travel to Africa frequently, and have a project ( most interesting to share with you)
but want to write the proposal direct, not on public pages.
Please send me address to ricccccardo@yahoo.it, or better to riccccardo@gmail.com
it's simple, already buiolt, but with your musician's environment will be more effective even in terms of fund raising.
Unless this message is "privet" but please confirm to me.
There must be an "agreement to share some % for me as well
Ciao
Riccardo

I refreshed my browser ... and the entire Calabash music store morphed in the Nat Geo online music store! The post is over at www.viewfromthedock.com (it's a site primarily for mac-related computer stuff, but I occasionally veer into other topics like this). Just wanted to let you know. I added an addendum to the post to remark on the change. Good luck with the project and congratulations on the Nat Geo partnership.
