  • May 2008
    • Thursday, 01.05. New York City, New York, French Institute/Florence Gould Hall @ 8:00pm "World Nomads" Event concert (Map, Tickets: FIAF Members $20, Non-Members $25, Students w/ID $20)
      • In May, FIAF launches World Nomads, a series that examines the cross-cultural exchange of ideas, artistic expression, and style. This transcultural journey begins in contemporary Africa bringing artists together for engaging programs considering Africa's cultural impact on France and the rest of the world. To open its inaugural World Nomads series, FIAF presents the well-traveled, satin strains of soul singer Ayo, performing selections from her double platinum-selling (France) album, Joyful. Born in Germany to a Nigerian father and a Roma mother, and ever keeping Paris as her spiritual home, Ayo’s pedigree seeps deep into bittersweet songs built from the world. Liquid organ riffs, acoustic guitars, and bongos punctuate mellifluous vocals that float with ease over deep reggae beats, evoke the stages of the Elysée-Montmartre in one moment, and the streets of Lagos in the next.
