January 2013 Concert Calendar

Happy New Year!  By popular request, here's 2013's first new feature: a concert calendar of world music events in Richmond and surrounding area.

Each month I'll list all the world music events I've heard about, with embedded links to further information.  Plus I'll highlight a few Global A Go-Go Picks -- the events you really, really don't want to miss.

Have an event you'd like me to include, or a suggestion for the concert calendar?  Just drop me a line at globalagogoradio [at] gmail [dot] com, or leave me a message right here.

Here are January's Global A Go-Go Picks:
  1. The Funk Ark at Balliceaux in Richmond on Saturday Jan 5
  2.  Los Texmaniacs at Richmond's Capital Ale House Music Hall on Saturday Jan 12
  3. Femi Kuti (pictured above) at the 9:30 Club in our nation's capital on Friday Jan 25
