FINN'S REVOLUTION! 2/26 preview

As it says on the WUSB site, I'm gonna completely fake an encyclopedic knowledge of West African culture with the Dowling College Loft Theater's Andrew Karp. LIVE tunes featuring griot Abdoulaye "Djoss" Diabate, Fomoro Dioubate, Andy Algire and David Racanelli from the Loft's EPIC OF SUNJATA, (no, NOT Sanjaya! That's another epic...), which opens on the 29th @ Dowling in Oakdale. Looks like this'll be a filmed event, so I might have to wear pants.
