January 2014 Concert Calendar

January's Global A Go-Go picks:

1. A marvelous African double bill at George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium on Thursday January 16: Zimbabwe's Oliver Mtukudzi (pictured above) & The Black Spirits supported by Krar Collective from Ethiopia via London
2. Richmond-based, nationally touring Corey Harris & The Rasta Blues Experience stay busy locally, with a gig at the Capital Ale House on Friday January 10 and a three-day residency at DC's Blues Alley January 30-February 1
3. A double bill of two excellent and infrequently-heard local bands: Richmanian Ramblers and Miramar at the Camel on Monday January 20
4. Romania's Fanfare Ciocarlia, possibly the best Balkan brass band in the world, visit DC's Atlas Performing Arts Center on Friday January 17
