Broadly speaking, this spring the AB offers you quite a bit more than simply pop or rock or jazz or chanson...  'World Music' is still the widely used term. Take a look below to see what exciting, enriching excursions that could provide:

12/3 Souad Massi + Jawhar: Arabic poetry and a superb songstress.

16/3 Kel Assouf: More robust Touareg desert-blues-rock. Kel Assouf is here for his CD launch.
