Festival International de Louisiane is next week, April 27 – May 1, 2011, and this 25th anniversary edition promises to be something to remember! Click on this year’s logo to be taken to the Festival’s web site.
For the past two years, I’ve been a member of the Board of Directors for Festival International and this year, everyone worked hard at making the 25th edition very special.
The line up is fantastic, as always, and this year, the programming committee made it a point to invite popular artists from past editions of the Festival. One of my favorite bands from Canada, “Suroit,” is back this year and so are the Burundi Drummers, Balkan Beat Box, MarchFourth Marching Band, Ricardo Lemva & Makina Loca, and Maria de Barros. New and exciting performers are Bomba Estereo, JJ Grey & Mofro, Toubab Krewe and Red Baraat!!!!
On the site, you can build your own schedule and save the bands you do not want to miss. You can also download the FREE Festival International App for iPhone and Android!
