September 2013 Concert Calendar

September's Global A Go-Go picks:
  1. Klezmer band The Vulgar Bulgars, the pride of Twin Oaks, make a rare Richmond appearance at Crossroads Coffee on Friday September 6
  2. The wide-ranging lineup for the first annual Fall Line Fest includes the atmospheric electronica and Spanish-language vocals of Helado Negro on Saturday September 7, plus Richmond's own Rattlemouth and The Richmanian Ramblers on Friday September 6
  3. Two really unique African bands on a double bill at Artispher in Arlington on Saturday September 14: Tal National from Niger and Janka Nabay & The Bubu Gang from Sierra Leone
  4. The brilliant British folk-rock singer, songwriter and (especially) guitarist Richard Thompson visits the Birchmere in Alexandria on September 21 and 22
  5. Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, whose new album is a WRIR New & Recommended selection, will be at the Howard Theatre in Washington on Friday September 27
  6. The now-nomadic Festival In The Desert, displaced from home by war in Mali, makes a stop in Washington DC on Sunday September 29 at Tropicalia (pictured above), featuring the amazing Mauritanian singer Noura Mint Seymali
