June 2015 Concert Calendar

June's Global A Go-Go picks:
  1. Balliceaux is closing this summer for renovations, but not before the next installment of the Richmanian Ramblers' Travelers Series on Tuesday June 2, with special guests the Afro-Zen Allstars
  2. An amazing double bill of Hungarian music on Thursday June 18 at DC's Sixth & I Historic Synagogue: folk-rock legends Muzsikas plus Frank London's Glass House Orchestra
  3. Paul (DJ Spooky) Miller presents another of his mind-expanding global mashups: this one, called "DJ Spooky's Electric Imaginary: Compositions Inspired By Nam June Paik" happens at the Smithsonian's Freer & Sackler Galleries Meyer Auditorium on Sunday June 21
  4. Nigeria's legendary King Sunny Ade (pictured above) & His African Beats, the pioneers of juju music and 20 members strong, play DC's Howard Theatre on Saturday June 27
