La 33
The Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Contonou’s psychedelic guitar grooves and funky organ sounds journey from Benin to the Millennium Park stage for their Chicago debut on their first U.S. tour. Their inimitably vintage sound is gaining much international acclaim, and igniting dance floors all over the globe. Opening the night are the irresistible new-wave salsa sounds of Colombia’s La 33 with their premiere Chicago performance.
Presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Millennium Park, the series expands this year to include eight double-bill concerts, beginning Thursday, June 3 and closing July 22, 2010, featuring traditional folk and pop artists from around the globe.
